is Queue.Queue() serializable with cPickle?

i have the following custom extenstion of Queue.Queue() to save and load queue contents but I think there's a problem with it. Does anybody know qhether Queue.Queue() is pickle-able? if so, can I get sample code? If not, can anybody recommend a pickle-able Queue from another library that I migh

event/job scheduling

i'd like to do the following kind of event/job scheduling: run some task(s) (python code) everyday at (say) 8am for (say) a week.i need to do this for both windows xp and suse linux machines. although i know that i can use cron or its equivalent in windows to kick off the python interpreter,

interpreting the fractional portion of time.clock() vs time.time(0 measurements

let's say i'm taking timing measurements in Windows XP   t1 = time.clock() ... t2 = time.clock()   t3 = t2 - t1 = say, 0.018 what is the unit of measurement for t3? is it correct to say that t3 = 18 milliseconds? microsends?   what if the timing function used for t1 and t2 was time.time()

commenting out blocks of code

Queue.Queue()

 what happens behind the scene when i create a Queue.Queue() without specifyinga maxsize?  does a block of space gets allocated initially then dynamically "expanded" as needed?  if so, what is the default size of the initial space? is italways better to specify a big enough maxsize initia

does anyone have a suggestion on simplest way to check for the existence of a file within the same directory where a python script was started without really opening it? i've seen some people use this as a mechanism for informing an application of an external event, signalling it for example to

two generators working in tandem

I'd like to write two generators: one is a min to max sequence number generator that rolls over to min again once the max is reached. the other is a generator that cycles through N (say, 12) labels. currently, i'm using these generators in nested loops like this:   seq_numbers = genSeqNum(min,

read-only attributes

while reading the lib manual, i came across mentions of read-only attributes. for example, a method has a read-only attribute (called _im_self ?) for binding a class instance to the method. is such a facility available to custom application code? if so, what do i have to do if i want my applicat
