python添加键值对_将键值对插入字典中的指定位置

How would I insert a key-value pair at a specified location in a python dictionary that was loaded from a YAML document?

For example if a dictionary is:

dict = {'Name': 'Zara', 'Age': 7, 'Class': 'First'}

I wish to insert the element 'Phone':'1234'

before Age, and after Name. This is just an example. The actual dictionary I shall be working on is quite large (parsed YAML file), so deleting and reinserting might be a bit cumbersome(I don't really know).

If I am given a way of inserting into a specified position in an OrderedDict, that would be okay too.

On python < 3.7 (or cpython < 3.6), you cannot control the ordering of pairs in a standard dictionary.

If you plan on performing arbitrary insertions often, my suggestion would be to use a list to store keys, and
