Summary: Queue.qsize() better info about unreliability
Initial Comment:
I know Queues are supposed to be used mostly in threads
apps.
since they are not banned to apps without threads, I
think that
| qsize(self)
| Return the approximate size of the queue
(not reliable!).
can be better.
You mean not reliable (or unreliable :D) because of
threads right?
if you mean *GENERALLY* because of when ti goes to next
instruction it might have change, then put this not
reliable thing in len() too ;)
I propose:
(urreliable if using threads)

In Py2.4.1, the wording is already:
Because of multithreading semantics, this number is not
reliable.

or better:
qsize() :: "Return the approximate size of the queue.
Because of multithreading semantics, this number is not
reliable." (RexxFi)
