--------------------------------------------- A two parter newbie question I am afraid.
Am I right in thinking that using something like ... item = a_queue.get() print item will not print 'item' unless or until there is an item in the queue to retrieve. Effectively stalling the thread at the .get() instruction? I can see that this it may be tested for, using the .empty() function thereby allowing the code to progress if there was nothing in the queue, but how is .not_empty used ? Thanks in advance --------------------------------------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
