I started once, using the Timer class in the Threading Module to break the lock. However the Timer class uses the same kind of sleep-polling loop, to delay the exection and allow an intermediate cancel, as the loop that is used in Queue.Queue, so that was no gain. I have still played with the idea, but haven't worked anything out since then. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
