SortedDict string representation not in order of keys

Description

This is more-or-less a problem with Python's dict implementation, IMO. It's
really nothing more than a convenience thing, but for SortedDict, repr(d)
doesn't indicate the proper key order. It seems that the standard dict.repr
does not iterate over the dict like I would expect it to.

Attached is a patch that re-implements repr using an iterator over the
object. Thus, SortedDict's are displayed properly in the Python shell.
