What are some queue implementations in Python?

In Python, you can implement queues using several methods. The most common are using lists, the collections.deque, and the queue module.

Can you explain how to use the queue module?

Sure! The queue module provides a FIFO implementation. You can create a queue using queue.Queue(), and then use methods like put() to add items and get() to remove them.

What are the advantages of using collections.deque over lists?

collections.deque is optimized for fast appends and pops from both ends, making it more efficient than lists for queue operations.

Are there any other libraries for advanced queue implementations?

Yes, libraries like multiprocessing.Queue for inter-process communication and asyncio.Queue for asynchronous programming are also great options.
