<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-Queue" title="Queue: A synchronized queue class."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Queue</span></tt></a> module implements multi-producer, multi-consumer queues.
It is especially useful in threaded programming when information must be
exchanged safely between multiple threads.  The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-Queue" title="Queue: A synchronized queue class."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Queue</span></tt></a> class in this
module implements all the required locking semantics.  It depends on the
availability of thread support in Python; see the <a class="reference internal" href="threading.html#module-threading" title="threading: Higher-level threading interface."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">threading</span></tt></a>
module.</p>
<p>The module implements three types of queue, which differ only in the order in
which the entries are retrieved.  In a FIFO queue, the first tasks added are
the first retrieved. In a LIFO queue, the most recently added entry is
the first retrieved (operating like a stack).  With a priority queue,
the entries are kept sorted (using the <a class="reference internal" href="heapq.html#module-heapq" title="heapq: Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue)."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">heapq</span></tt></a> module) and the
lowest valued entry is retrieved first.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-Queue" title="Queue: A synchronized queue class."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Queue</span></tt></a> module defines the following classes and exceptions:</p>

<p>The lowest valued entries are retrieved first (the lowest valued entry is the
