What are the differences between Python's Queue and Async Queue?

What are the differences between Python's Queue and Async Queue?

Python's Queue is a thread-safe FIFO queue for multi-threading, while Async Queue is designed for asynchronous programming.

Can you give me an example of how to use both?

Sure! For Queue, you can use queue.Queue() to create a queue and put()/get() methods to add or remove items. For Async Queue, use asyncio.Queue() and await put()/await get().

When should I use Async Queue over Queue?

Use Async Queue when you're working with asynchronous code, especially in I/O-bound applications, to avoid blocking.

Are there performance differences between the two?

Yes, Async Queue can be more efficient in I/O-bound tasks due to non-blocking behavior, while Queue is better for CPU-bound tasks.
