But the important thing is that a Queue is a synchronized object - it performs the necesary synchronization to ensure proper operation even from multiple threads attempting to use it at the same time. So your comparison is meaningless, apart from telling that using mutexes is not cheap. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
