Well, the first thing I'd try is simply asking for more data when you're ready for it - can you get five seconds' of data all at once? Obviously this won't work if your upstream buffers only a small amount, in which case your thread is there to do that buffering; also, if you can't absolutely *guarantee* that you can process the data quickly enough, every time, then you need to use the queue to buffer that. But otherwise, it sounds like a quite reasonable way to do things. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
