mass.util.dict_with_id

DictWithID and OrderedDictWithID are dictionaries with identifers attributes.

The dict_with_id submodule utilizes the built-in type to dynamically create the DictWithID and OrderedDictWithID classes based on whether the parent class should be a standard dict or an OrderedDict, therefore allowing each object to inherit its parent class methods and generable behavior.

The DictWithID and OrderedDictWithID classes are primarily used for in order to use dictionaries with the speciailized DictList container for both performance gains and user convenience.
