Guido van Rossum: BDFL Python 3 retrospective
#7
3.6 was the biggest release in the Python 3 series with 16 new PEP(Python Enhancement Proposals) like eg f-string.
But as importation was the internal changes made in in 3.6.
Like a new dictionaries implementation similar to the PyPy dict implementation was done bye Raymond Hettinger.

This resulted in faster dictionaries and using 20% to 25% less memory when compared to Python 3.5.
Dictionaries is used a lot internally in Python so this will speed up Python in most areas.

That dictionaries was ordered was a implantation detail and not guaranteed.
Work for all i have tested,so people start to relay on it,so 3.7 i think it will be guaranteed.
Quote:Twitter @Raymond Hettinger
Having dicts ordered by default in #python 3.6 is not guaranteed yet.
But it is so convenient that a guarantee for 3.7 is almost inevitable.
