As far as I'm aware, the only advantage of PriorityQueue over heapq is that the former is thread-safe, which does not appear to be relevant here. I haven't tested it for speed, but I imagine it would be a fair bit slower, mostly thanks to the locking it needs to do. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
