That's a self-contradiction there. Even if you insert a task into the head of the queue, it won't be addressed in real time; the only way to do that would be to have a dedicated process, always ready to handle the real-time events, or else some kind of interrupt system. But if you just want them handled when there's a worker available, what you're after is a priority queue system. I don't know if one exists in Python already or not, but if not, it'd be a worthwhile addition. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
