This is a general policy: we have python modules for as many stdlib modules as we can (which is most of them), and for some stdlib modules we also have C accelerators.

I will agree that the fact that the documentation has a link to the source code of the collections module, which includes the OrderedDict python source, can be misleading if you do not understand the implication of the import at the end.  So adding a comment at the top of the OrderedDict source would, I think, be reasonable.
