What are the differences between Python's queue and multiprocessing modules?

Python's queue module is used for thread-safe communication between threads, while multiprocessing is for processes.

Can you explain how to use the queue module with threads?

Sure! You can create a Queue object and use the put() method to add items and get() to retrieve them in a thread-safe manner.

What about the multiprocessing module? How does it work?

The multiprocessing module allows you to create separate processes, each with its own Python interpreter, enabling parallel execution.

When should I use one over the other?

Use the queue module for I/O-bound tasks with threads, and multiprocessing for CPU-bound tasks that require parallel processing.
