Help on class PriorityQueue in module queue:
class PriorityQueue(Queue)
| Variant of Queue that retrieves open entries in priority order (lowest first).
|
| Entries are typically tuples of the form: (priority number, data).
|
| Method resolution order:
| PriorityQueue
| Queue
| builtins.object
|
| Methods inherited from Queue:
|
| __init__(self, maxsize=0)
|
| empty(self)
| Return True if the queue is empty, False otherwise (not reliable!).
|
| This method is likely to be removed at some point. Use qsize() == 0
| as a direct substitute, but be aware that either approach risks a race
| condition where a queue can grow before the result of empty() or
| qsize() can be used.
|
| To create code that needs to wait for all queued tasks to be
| completed, the preferred technique is to use the join() method.
|
| full(self)
| Return True if the queue is full, False otherwise (not reliable!).
|
| This method is likely to be removed at some point. Use qsize() >= n
| as a direct substitute, but be aware that either approach risks a race
| condition where a queue can shrink before the result of full() or
| qsize() can be used.
|
| get(self, 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 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 Empty exception ('timeout' is ignored
| in that case).
|
| get_nowait(self)
| Remove and return an item from the queue without blocking.
|
| Only get an item if one is immediately available. Otherwise
| raise the Empty exception.
|
| join(self)
| 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 task_done()
| to indicate the item was retrieved and all work on it is complete.
|
| When the count of unfinished tasks drops to zero, join() unblocks.
|
| put(self, item, block=True, timeout=None)
| Put an 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 'timeout' is
| a positive number, it blocks at most 'timeout' seconds and raises
| the 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 Full exception ('timeout'
| is ignored in that case).
|
| put_nowait(self, item)
| Put an item into the queue without blocking.
|
| Only enqueue the item if a free slot is immediately available.
| Otherwise raise the Full exception.
|
| qsize(self)
| Return the approximate size of the queue (not reliable!).
|
| task_done(self)
| Indicate that a formerly enqueued task is complete.
|
| Used by Queue consumer threads. For each get() used to fetch a task,
| a subsequent call to task_done() tells the queue that the processing
| on the task is complete.
|
| If a join() is currently blocking, it will resume when all items
| have been processed (meaning that a task_done() call was received
| for every item that had been put() into the queue).
|
| Raises a ValueError if called more times than there were items
| placed in the queue.
