dictionary - getting the key index in a Python OrderedDict?

I have a collections.OrderedDict with a list of key, value pairs. I would like to compute the index i such that the ith key matches a given value. For example:

food = OrderedDict([('beans',33),('rice',44),('pineapple',55),('chicken',66)])

I want to go from the key chicken to the index 3, or from the key rice to the index 1. I can do this now with

food.keys().index('rice')

but is there any way to leverage the OrderedDict's ability to look things up quickly by key name? Otherwise it seems like the index-finding would be O(N) rather than O(log N), and I have a lot of items.

I suppose I can do this manually by making my own index:

>>> foodIndex = {k:i for i,k in enumerate(food.keys())}
>>> foodIndex
{'chicken': 3, 'rice': 1, 'beans': 0, 'pineapple': 2}

but I was hoping there might be something built in to an OrderedDict.

Basically, no. OrderedDict gets its ability to look things up quickly by key name just by using a regular, unordered dict under the hood. The order information is stored separately in a doubly linked list. Because of this, there's no way to go directly from the key to its index. The order in an OrderedDict is mainly intended to be available for iteration; a key does not "know" its own order.
