How can I use thread-safe queues in Python's collections module?

You can use the Queue class from the queue module, which is designed for thread-safe operations.

Can you show me a simple example of how to implement it?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from queue import Queue

# Create a thread-safe queue
q = Queue()

# Adding items to the queue
q.put('item1')
q.put('item2')

# Removing items from the queue
item = q.get()
print(item)  # Outputs: item1

What happens if I try to get an item from an empty queue?

If you try to get an item from an empty queue, it will block until an item is available, unless you specify a timeout.
