The method wich uses the maxsize: """ # Check whether the queue is full def _full(self): return self.maxsize > 0 and len(self.queue) == self.maxsize """ @rhettinger: As per the documentation, negative values result on an infinite Queue; well that AND will never be fulfilled with a negative value anyway; @gutworth: What I mean is that's "awkward", if you put an string for example, it'll be the size of the string wich will be used on the __cmp__ and on len(), but that's not explicit, or is it?
