佇列queue 多應用在多執行緒應用中，多執行緒訪問共享變數。對於多執行緒而言，訪問共享變數時，佇列queue是執行緒安全的。從queue佇列的具體實現中，可以看出queue使用了1個執行緒互斥鎖(pthread.Lock())，以及3個條件標量(pthread.condition()),來保證了執行緒安全。

queue佇列的互斥鎖和條件變數，可以參考另一篇文章：python執行緒中同步鎖

queue的用法如下：

import Queque
a=[1,2,3]
device_que=Queque.queue()
device_que.put(a)
device=device_que.get()
 

先看看它的初始化函式__init__(self,maxsize=0):

    def __init__(self, maxsize=0):
        self.maxsize = maxsize
        self._init(maxsize)
        # mutex must be held whenever the queue is mutating.  All methods
        # that acquire mutex must release it before returning.  mutex
        # is shared between the three conditions, so acquiring and
        # releasing the conditions also acquires and releases mutex.
        self.mutex = _threading.Lock()
        # Notify not_empty whenever an item is added to the queue; a
        # thread waiting to get is notified then.
        self.not_empty = _threading.Condition(self.mutex)
        # Notify not_full whenever an item is removed from the queue;
        # a thread waiting to put is notified then.
        self.not_full = _threading.Condition(self.mutex)
        # Notify all_tasks_done whenever the number of unfinished tasks
        # drops to zero; thread waiting to join() is notified to resume
        self.all_tasks_done = _threading.Condition(self.mutex)
        self.unfinished_tasks = 0
 

定義佇列時有一個預設的引數maxsize, 如果不指定佇列的長度，即manxsize=0,那麼佇列的長度為無限長，如果定義了大於0的值，那麼佇列的長度就是maxsize。

self._init(maxsize)：使用了python自帶的雙端佇列deque,來儲存元素。

   self.mutex互斥鎖：任何獲取佇列的狀態(empty(),qsize()等)，或者修改佇列的內容的操作(get,put等)都必須持有該互斥鎖。共有兩種操作require獲取鎖，release釋放鎖。同時該互斥鎖被三個共享變數同時享有，即操作conditiond時的require和release操作也就是操作了該互斥鎖。

self.not_full條件變數：當佇列中有元素新增後，會通知notify其他等待新增元素的執行緒，喚醒等待require互斥鎖，或者有執行緒從佇列中取出一個元素後，通知其它執行緒喚醒以等待require互斥鎖。

self.not empty條件變數：執行緒新增資料到佇列中後，會呼叫self.not_empty.notify()通知其它執行緒，喚醒等待require互斥鎖後，讀取佇列。

self.all_tasks_done條件變數：消費者執行緒從佇列中get到任務後，任務處理完成，當所有的佇列中的任務處理完成後，會使呼叫queue.join()的執行緒返回，表示佇列中任務以處理完畢。

queue.put(self, item, block=True, timeout=None)函式:

申請獲得互斥鎖，獲得後，如果佇列未滿，則向佇列中新增資料，並通知notify其它阻塞的某個執行緒，喚醒等待獲取require互斥鎖。如果佇列已滿，則會wait等待。最後處理完成後釋放互斥鎖。其中還有阻塞block以及非阻塞，超時等邏輯，可以自己看一下:

    def 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

        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

Queue模組除了queue線性安全佇列（先進先出），還有優先順序佇列LifoQueue(後進先出)，也就是新新增的先被get到。PriorityQueue具有優先順序的佇列，即佇列中的元素是一個元祖型別，（優先順序級別，資料）。

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).
    '''

    def _init(self, maxsize):
        self.queue = []

    def _qsize(self, len=len):
        return len(self.queue)

    def _put(self, item, heappush=heapq.heappush):
        heappush(self.queue, item)

    def _get(self, heappop=heapq.heappop):
        return heappop(self.queue)


class LifoQueue(Queue):
    '''Variant of Queue that retrieves most recently added entries first.'''

    def _init(self, maxsize):
        self.queue = []

    def _qsize(self, len=len):
        return len(self.queue)
