Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

_collections exists because it contains C implementations of some collections 
classes or helpers. _collections itself is imported only in collections and 
threading. And in threading the same idiom as proposed by Eric is used:

try:
    from _collections import deque as _deque
except ImportError:
    from collections import deque as _deque

What is the cost of importing OrderedDict at all? Ethan, can you provide any 
measurement results?
