I just tried a different approach, and it's revealing:

$ python -s
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep  1 2016, 20:27:38) 
[GCC 6.2.0 20160927] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from backports.shutil_get_terminal_size import get_terminal_size

Why on Earth did moving ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports
not have the same effect is beyond me.
