Working on my refactor of axes.py, I needed to use defaultdict and possibly OrderedDict from the collections standard module. Problem is that matplotlib already has a collections.py module in lib/matplotlib. This file takes precedence in the import process and gets in my way. Does anybody know of any way to force the import to do what I want? This has completely stumped me.
Thanks,
Ben Root

Looking at PEP 328 – Imports: Multi-Line and Absolute/Relative | peps.python.org it appears that for 2.6 and later, using
from __future__ import absolute_import
should cause "import collections" to refer to the standard library.

Good to know. But aren’t we supporting 2.5, or did we decide on 2.6?

>=2.6 only from now on. This is so that we can support 3.2+ in the same codebase.
