+This module implements high-performance container datatypes.  Currently,
+there are two datatypes, :class:`deque` and :class:`defaultdict`, and
+one datatype factory function, :func:`NamedTuple`. Python already
+includes built-in containers, :func:`dict`, :func:`list`, and
+:func:`tuple`. The optional :mod:`bsddb` module has a :meth:`btopen`
+method that can be used to create in-memory or file based ordered
+dictionaries with string keys.
