The Python documentation says that the collections module was added in
2.4.

I have both Python 2.5 and Python 2.6 installed on Windows (both are
the stock python.org versions). 2.5 doesn't have a collections.py, but
"import collections" works from the IDE. AFAICT, the collections
module is built into python25.dll.
