Message: [QUOTE="Steven D'Aprano, post: 5129605"] Unless the OP needs all the extra threading-related powers of the queue module, I'd just stick to a simple, single-threaded queue object. These easiest way to do that is with a deque, which is a double-ended queue. The threading Queue class is based on a deque, so this will be at least as fast: py> from collections import deque py> my_queue = deque([], 5) # maximum of five items py> my_queue.append(7) py> my_queue.append(3) py> my_queue.append(9) py> sorted(my_queue) [3, 7, 9] py> my_queue.append(2) py> my_queue.append(0) py> my_queue.append(4) py> my_queue deque([3, 9, 2, 0, 4], maxlen=5) py> sorted(my_queue) [0, 2, 3, 4, 9] [/QUOTE]
