How do I use the queue module in Python?

The queue module in Python provides a way to create and manage a queue data structure. You can use it for thread-safe operations.

Can you show me a simple example of how to create a queue?

Sure! You can create a queue using from queue import Queue and then instantiate it with my_queue = Queue(). You can add items using my_queue.put(item).

How do I retrieve items from the queue?

You can retrieve items using item = my_queue.get(). This will remove and return the item from the front of the queue.

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.
