It would be great if six would provide OrderedDict for python versions below 2.7.

Surely, you can just use the OrderedDict backport PyPI package?

Ok I was thinking that instead of writing this:

#!python

try:
    from collections import OrderedDict
except ImportError:
    from ordereddict import OrderedDict

I could simply write:

#!python
import six

six.OrderedDict

I don't think I want to bundle a large thing like OrderedDict.
