What you should have done is call the base class's _get method, like
this:
def _get(self):
ret = Queue._get(self)
DoSomethingSimple()
return ret
This'll work in 2.3, 2.4, and if they were to change the type of the
queue again in 2.5, it would still work without any changes. Don't
redo the work the base class does if you don't have to.
