Python的Queue模块中提供了同步的、线程安全的队列类，包括FIFO(先入先出)队列Queue，LIFO(后入先出)队列LifoQueue，和优先级队列PriorityQueue。这些队列都实现了锁原语，能够在多线程中直接使用。可以使用队列来实现线程间的同步。
Queue模块中的常用方法:
1.Queue.qsize() 返回队列的大小
2.Queue.empty() 如果队列为空，返回True,反之False
3.Queue.full() 如果队列满了，返回True,反之False
4.Queue.full 与 maxsize 大小对应
5.Queue.get([block[, timeout]])获取队列，timeout等待时间
6.Queue.get_nowait() 相当Queue.get(False)
7.Queue.put(item) 写入队列，timeout等待时间
8.Queue.put_nowait(item) 相当Queue.put(item, False)
9.Queue.task_done() 在完成一项工作之后，Queue.task_done()函数向任务已经完成的队列发送一个信号
10.Queue.join() 实际上意味着等到队列为空，再执行别的操作#!/usr/bin/python

import Queue
import threading
import time
exitFlag = 0
class myThread (threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.q = q
def run(self):
print "Starting " + self.name
process_data(self.name, self.q)
print "Exiting " + self.name
def process_data(threadName, q):
while not exitFlag:
queueLock.acquire()
if not workQueue.empty():
data = q.get()
queueLock.release()
print "%s processing %s" % (threadName, data)
else:queueLock.release()
time.sleep(1)
threadList = ["Thread-1", "Thread-2", "Thread-3"]
nameList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
queueLock = threading.Lock()
workQueue = Queue.Queue(10)
threads = []
threadID = 1
# 创建新线程
for tName in threadList:
thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
thread.start()
threads.append(thread)
threadID += 1
# 填充队列
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()
# 等待队列清空
while not workQueue.empty():
pass
# 通知线程是时候退出
exitFlag = 1
# 等待所有线程完成
for t in threads:
t.join()
print "Exiting Main Thread"
以上程序执行结果：Starting Thread-1
Starting Thread-2
Starting Thread-3
Thread-1 processing One
Thread-2 processing Two
Thread-3 processing Three
Thread-1 processing Four
Thread-2 processing Five
Exiting Thread-3
Exiting Thread-1
Exiting Thread-2
Exiting Main Thread
