A thread-safe queue object which is interchangeable with the stdlib Queue. Any overflow goes into a compressed file to keep excessive amounts of queued items out of memory

Project description

FileQueue is a thread-safe queue which is a subclass of Queue.Queue from the stdlib.

FileQueue will overflow into a compressed file if the number of items exceeds maxsize, instead of blocking or raising Full like the regular Queue.

The motivation came from wanting to queue a lot of work without consuming lots of memory.
