I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation was old enough to vote. Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex. The code is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand. For blocking with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout code from threading.Condition. The Full and Empty exceptions raised by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to explain truthfully: Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get. What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or faster) than the old one. I don't really care. Anyone who cares a lot is encouraged to check that.
