I’m new to Python, and using Google App Engine, which is currently running only Python 2.5. Are there any built-in ways of doing an ordered dictionary, or do I have to implement something custom?

Django provides a SortedDict class, which has the same functionality. If you are using django, you can just use
from django.utils.datastructures import SortedDict.Even if you’re not using django, you can still take advantage of that implementation. Just get the datastructures.py file from the django source and save it somewhere importable.
