Initialize a new (idle) Python interpreter
and return a :class:`Interpreter` object for it.

.. function:: create_queue()
.. function:: create_queue(maxsize=0)

Initialize a new cross-interpreter queue and return a :class:`Queue`
object for it.

*maxsize* is an integer that sets the upperbound limit on the number of
items that can be placed in the queue. Insertion will be blocked once this
size has been reached, until queue items are consumed. If *maxsize* is
less than or equal to zero, the queue size is infinite.

.. class:: Queue(id)

A wrapper around a low-level, cross-interpreter queue, which
implements the :class:`queue.Queue` interface. The underlying queue
implements all the methods of :class:`queue.Queue` except for
:meth:`~queue.Queue.task_done`, :meth:`~queue.Queue.join`
and :meth:`~queue.Queue.shutdown`. The underlying queue
can only be created through :func:`create_queue`.

The queue's ID.

.. method:: qsize()

.. exception:: QueueEmptyError
Return the number of items in the queue.

.. method:: empty()

Return ``True`` if the queue is empty, ``False`` otherwise.

.. method:: full()

Return ``True`` if the queue is full, ``False`` otherwise.

.. method:: put(obj, block=True, timeout=None)

Put *obj* into the queue. If optional args *block* is true and
*timeout* is ``None`` (the default), block if necessary until a free
slot is available. If *timeout* is a positive number, it blocks at
most *timeout* seconds and raises the :exc:`QueueFull` exception if
no free slot was available within that time. Otherwise (*block* is
false), put an object on the queue if a free slot is immediately
available, else raise the :exc:`QueueFull` exception (*timeout* is
ignored in that case).

.. method:: put_nowait(obj)

Equivalent to ``put(obj, block=False)``.

.. method:: get(block=True, timeout=None)

Remove and return an object from the queue. If optional args *block*
is true and *timeout* is ``None`` (the default), block if necessary
until an object is available. If *timeout* is a positive number, it
blocks at most *timeout* seconds and raises the :exc:`QueueEmpty`
exception if no object was available within that time. Otherwise
(*block* is false), return an object if one is immediately available,
else raise the :exc:`QueueEmpty` exception (*timeout* is ignored in
that case).

.. method:: get_nowait()

Equivalent to ``get(block=False)``.


.. exception:: QueueEmpty

This exception, a subclass of :exc:`queue.Empty`, is raised from
:meth:`!Queue.get` and :meth:`!Queue.get_nowait` when the queue
:meth:`Queue.get` and :meth:`Queue.get_nowait` when the queue
is empty.

.. exception:: QueueFullError
.. exception:: QueueFull

This exception, a subclass of :exc:`queue.Full`, is raised from
:meth:`!Queue.put` and :meth:`!Queue.put_nowait` when the queue
:meth:`Queue.put` and :meth:`Queue.put_nowait` when the queue
is full.
