Reading up on python's built in Queue class, though, it seems oriented towards "job queues", with a two-step dequeue operation (get() and task_done()). I'm worried that this would make it too heavyweight for my application. Is ther documentation somewhere on what exactly task_done() does, and whether I can disable the tracking of a job once it's removed from the queue? The python docs for the Queue module were a bit light.
"task_done" just decrements a counter (incremented by "put"). when the counter reaches zero, the "join" call is unblocked.
