How to iterate Queue.Queue items in Python?

Question

Does anyone know a pythonic way of iterating over the elements of a Queue.Queue without removing them from the Queue. I have a producer/consumer-type p

Answer 1

Listing queue elements without consuming them:

>>> from Queue import Queue
>>> q = Queue()
>>> q.put(1)
>>> q.put(2)
>>> q.put(3)
>>> print list(q.queue)
[1, 2, 3]

After operation, you can still process them:

>>> q.get()
1
>>> print list(q.queue)
[2, 3]
