availability of thread support in Python; see the :mod:`threading`
module.

The module implements three types of queue, which differ only in the order in
2016-05-16 03:31:54 -03:00
which the entries are retrieved. In a :abbr:`FIFO (first-in, first-out)`
queue, the first tasks added are the first retrieved. In a
:abbr:`LIFO (last-in, first-out)` queue, the most recently added entry is
2008-01-16 20:13:27 -04:00
the first retrieved (operating like a stack). With a priority queue,
the entries are kept sorted (using the :mod:`heapq` module) and the
lowest valued entry is retrieved first.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Internally, those three types of queues use locks to temporarily block
competing threads; however, they are not designed to handle reentrancy
within a thread.
In addition, the module implements a "simple"
:abbr:`FIFO (first-in, first-out)` queue type where
specific implementations can provide additional guarantees
in exchange for the smaller functionality.
The :mod:`queue` module defines the following classes and exceptions:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. class:: Queue(maxsize=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2016-05-16 03:31:54 -03:00
Constructor for a :abbr:`FIFO (first-in, first-out)` queue. *maxsize* is
an integer that sets the upperbound
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
limit on the number of items that can be placed in the queue. Insertion will
block once this size has been reached, until queue items are consumed. If
*maxsize* is less than or equal to zero, the queue size is infinite.
.. class:: LifoQueue(maxsize=0)
2008-01-16 20:13:27 -04:00
2016-05-16 03:31:54 -03:00
Constructor for a :abbr:`LIFO (last-in, first-out)` queue. *maxsize* is
an integer that sets the upperbound
2008-01-16 20:13:27 -04:00
limit on the number of items that can be placed in the queue. Insertion will
block once this size has been reached, until queue items are consumed. If
*maxsize* is less than or equal to zero, the queue size is infinite.

.. class:: PriorityQueue(maxsize=0)
2008-01-16 20:13:27 -04:00
Constructor for a priority queue. *maxsize* is an integer that sets the upperbound
limit on the number of items that can be placed in the queue. Insertion will
block once this size has been reached, until queue items are consumed. If
*maxsize* is less than or equal to zero, the queue size is infinite.
The lowest valued entries are retrieved first (the lowest valued entry is the
one returned by ``sorted(list(entries))[0]``). A typical pattern for entries
is a tuple in the form: ``(priority_number, data)``.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
If the *data* elements are not comparable, the data can be wrapped in a class
that ignores the data item and only compares the priority number::
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Any
@dataclass(order=True)
class PrioritizedItem:
priority: int
item: Any=field(compare=False)

Return the approximate size of the queue. Note, qsize() > 0 doesn't
guarantee that a subsequent get() will not block, nor will qsize() < maxsize
guarantee that put() will not block.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: Queue.empty()
Return ``True`` if the queue is empty, ``False`` otherwise. If empty()
returns ``True`` it doesn't guarantee that a subsequent call to put()
will not block. Similarly, if empty() returns ``False`` it doesn't
guarantee that a subsequent call to get() will not block.
.. method:: Queue.full()
Return ``True`` if the queue is full, ``False`` otherwise. If full()
returns ``True`` it doesn't guarantee that a subsequent call to get()
will not block. Similarly, if full() returns ``False`` it doesn't
guarantee that a subsequent call to put() will not block.
.. method:: Queue.put(item, block=True, timeout=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Put *item* into the queue. If optional args *block* is true and *timeout* is
``None`` (the default), block if necessary until a free slot is available. If
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
*timeout* is a positive number, it blocks at most *timeout* seconds and raises
the :exc:`Full` exception if no free slot was available within that time.
Otherwise (*block* is false), put an item on the queue if a free slot is
immediately available, else raise the :exc:`Full` exception (*timeout* is
ignored in that case).
.. method:: Queue.put_nowait(item)
Equivalent to ``put(item, False)``.
.. method:: Queue.get(block=True, timeout=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Remove and return an item from the queue. If optional args *block* is true and
*timeout* is ``None`` (the default), block if necessary until an item is available.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
If *timeout* is a positive number, it blocks at most *timeout* seconds and
raises the :exc:`Empty` exception if no item was available within that time.
Otherwise (*block* is false), return an item if one is immediately available,
else raise the :exc:`Empty` exception (*timeout* is ignored in that case).
.. method:: Queue.get_nowait()
Equivalent to ``get(False)``.
Two methods are offered to support tracking whether enqueued tasks have been
fully processed by daemon consumer threads.
.. method:: Queue.task_done()
Indicate that a formerly enqueued task is complete. Used by queue consumer
threads. For each :meth:`get` used to fetch a task, a subsequent call to
:meth:`task_done` tells the queue that the processing on the task is complete.
If a :meth:`join` is currently blocking, it will resume when all items have been
processed (meaning that a :meth:`task_done` call was received for every item
that had been :meth:`put` into the queue).
Raises a :exc:`ValueError` if called more times than there were items placed in
the queue.
.. method:: Queue.join()
Blocks until all items in the queue have been gotten and processed.
The count of unfinished tasks goes up whenever an item is added to the queue.
The count goes down whenever a consumer thread calls :meth:`task_done` to
indicate that the item was retrieved and all work on it is complete. When the
2009-03-09 21:07:25 -03:00
count of unfinished tasks drops to zero, :meth:`join` unblocks.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Example of how to wait for enqueued tasks to be completed::
def worker():
while True:
item = q.get()
if item is None:
break
do_work(item)
q.task_done()
q = queue.Queue()
threads = []
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
t.start()
threads.append(t)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
for item in source():
q.put(item)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
# block until all tasks are done
q.join()
# stop workers
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
q.put(None)
for t in threads:
t.join()

SimpleQueue Objects
-------------------
:class:`SimpleQueue` objects provide the public methods described below.
.. method:: SimpleQueue.qsize()
Return the approximate size of the queue. Note, qsize() > 0 doesn't
guarantee that a subsequent get() will not block.
.. method:: SimpleQueue.empty()
Return ``True`` if the queue is empty, ``False`` otherwise. If empty()
returns ``False`` it doesn't guarantee that a subsequent call to get()
will not block.
.. method:: SimpleQueue.put(item, block=True, timeout=None)
Put *item* into the queue. The method never blocks and always succeeds
(except for potential low-level errors such as failure to allocate memory).
The optional args *block* and *timeout* are ignored and only provided
for compatibility with :meth:`Queue.put`.
.. impl-detail::
This method has a C implementation which is reentrant. That is, a
``put()`` or ``get()`` call can be interrupted by another ``put()``
call in the same thread without deadlocking or corrupting internal
state inside the queue. This makes it appropriate for use in
destructors such as ``__del__`` methods or :mod:`weakref` callbacks.
.. method:: SimpleQueue.put_nowait(item)
Equivalent to ``put(item)``, provided for compatibility with
:meth:`Queue.put_nowait`.
.. method:: SimpleQueue.get(block=True, timeout=None)
Remove and return an item from the queue. If optional args *block* is true and
*timeout* is ``None`` (the default), block if necessary until an item is available.
If *timeout* is a positive number, it blocks at most *timeout* seconds and
raises the :exc:`Empty` exception if no item was available within that time.
Otherwise (*block* is false), return an item if one is immediately available,
else raise the :exc:`Empty` exception (*timeout* is ignored in that case).
.. method:: SimpleQueue.get_nowait()
Equivalent to ``get(False)``.
.. seealso::
Class :class:`multiprocessing.Queue`
A queue class for use in a multi-processing (rather than multi-threading)
context.
2011-01-07 16:58:25 -04:00
:class:`collections.deque` is an alternative implementation of unbounded
queues with fast atomic :meth:`~collections.deque.append` and
:meth:`~collections.deque.popleft` operations that do not require locking.
