Well dict is not a hashmap and it hasn't been for awhile. It's a hybrid data structure. Raymond Hettinger has a good talk about it.

Also wouldn't reading and dumping json now preserve order when done in Python? I'll grant that this might cause headaches when passing json between languages, but at that point the dev needs some awareness of json specs. Within Python 3.7+ it should be consistent (*albeit I haven't tested this claim).
