Python in a Nutshell

Name

Queue

Synopsis

class Queue(maxsize=0)

Queue is the main class for module Queue and is covered in the next section. When maxsize is greater than 0, the new Queue instance q is deemed full when q has maxsize items. A thread inserting an item with the block option, when q is full, suspends until another thread extracts an item. When maxsize is less than or equal to 0, q is never considered full, and is limited in size only by available memory, like normal Python containers.
