However, have a look at the Queue module. It's arguably more Pythonic, in the sense that it's in the standard libarary. But interally it's fairly similar to how you're doing it. (It has a few extra locks to handle empty and full conditions, IIRC.) Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
