7.6.1 Queue Objects
Class Queue implements queue objects and has the methods
described below. This class can be derived from in order to implement
other queue organizations (e.g. stack) but the inheritable interface
is not described here. See the source code for details. The public
methods are:
- qsize ()
-
Returns the approximate size of the queue. Because of multithreading
semantics, this number is not reliable.
- empty ()
-
Returns 1 if the queue is empty, 0 otherwise. Because
of multithreading semantics, this is not reliable.
- full ()
-
Returns 1 if the queue is full, 0 otherwise. Because of
multithreading semantics, this is not reliable.
- put (item)
-
Puts item into the queue.
- get ()
-
Gets and returns an item from the queue, blocking if necessary until
one is available.
- get_nowait ()
-
Gets and returns an item from the queue if one is immediately
available. Raises an Empty exception if the queue is
empty or if the queue's emptiness cannot be determined.
