Skip write: Is the Queue class very useful outside a multithreaded context? The notion of a queue as a data structure has meaning outside of threaded applications. Its presence might seduce a new programmer into thinking it is subtly different than it really is. A cursory test suggests that it works, though q.get() on a empty queue seems a bit counterproductive. Also, Queue objects are probably quite a bit less efficient than lists. Taken as a whole, perhaps a stronger attachment with the threading module isn't such a bad idea. Maybe Queue belongs in a module called synchronize to avoid any confusions.
