No problem, that's what I thought happened.  And you're right, I'm looking for 
a priority queue (not the only reason to use a heap, but a pretty important

I'm assuming I've missed the explanation, so what is the problem again with 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/queue.html#queue.PriorityQueue or even 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-queue.html#asyncio.PriorityQueue ?

Efficiently changing the the priority of items already in the queue/deleting 
items in the queue (not the first item).  This comes up a LOT in event-based 
simulators where it's easier to tentatively add an event knowing that you might 
need to delete it or change it later.

Thanks for that, but from the sounds of it sooner you than me :)
