Dictionary.py def load(): mixes up variables

Okay when putting words in the dict() the words are fun but after they are loaded again the dict() items are all jumbled around.

   def load():
      dWord = {}
     for word in open("Dictionary.DB","r").readlines():
        if len(word.strip())>0:
           raw = word.split()
           word, name, numdef, definition, wordtime = ' '.join(raw[0:-4]), raw[1], raw[2], ' '.join(raw[3:-1]), raw[-1]
           dWord[word] = name, int(numdef), definition, int(wordtime)
     Dictionary.dWord = dWord

Is there a way to keep the dict() items from mixing up with each other?

You should use OrderedDict, use it just like normal dict:

>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> d = OrderedDict()
>>> d[2] = 3
>>> d[1] = 4
>>> d[5] = 2
>>> print d
OrderedDict([(2, 3), (1, 4), (5, 2)])
>>> for i in d:
>>>     print i
2
1
5

As you see it keeps the insertion order.
