Queuelib is a collection of persistent (disk-based) queues for Python.

Queuelib goals are speed and simplicity. It was originally part of the `Scrapy
framework`_ and stripped out on its own library.

Requirements
============

* Python 2.7 or Python 3.3
* no external library requirements

Installation
============

You can install Queuelib either via the Python Package Index (PyPI) or from
source.

To install using pip::

    $ pip install queuelib

To install using easy_install::

    $ easy_install queuelib

If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it by running the
following (as root)::

    # python setup.py install

FIFO/LIFO disk queues
=====================

Queuelib provides FIFO and LIFO queue implementations.

Here is an example usage of the FIFO queue::

    >>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue
    >>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile")
    >>> q.push(b'a')
    >>> q.push(b'b')
    >>> q.push(b'c')
    >>> q.pop()
    b'a'
    >>> q.close()
    >>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile")
    >>> q.pop()
    b'b'
    >>> q.pop()
    b'c'
    >>> q.pop()
    >>>

The LIFO queue is identical (API-wise), but importing ``LifoDiskQueue``
instead.

PriorityQueue
=============

A discrete-priority queue implemented by combining multiple FIFO/LIFO queues
(one per priority).

First, select the type of queue to be used per priority (FIFO or LIFO)::

    >>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue
    >>> qfactory = lambda priority: FifoDiskQueue('queue-dir-%s' % priority)

Then instantiate the Priority Queue with it::

    >>> from queuelib import PriorityQueue
    >>> pq = PriorityQueue(qfactory)

And use it::

    >>> pq.push(b'a', 3)
    >>> pq.push(b'b', 1)
    >>> pq.push(b'c', 2)
    >>> pq.push(b'd', 2)
    >>> pq.pop()
    b'b'
    >>> pq.pop()
    b'c'
    >>> pq.pop()
    b'd'
    >>> pq.pop()
    b'a'

GitHub (for some reason) you're welcome to send regular patches.

All changes require tests to be merged.

Tests
=====

Tests are located in `queuelib/tests` directory. They can be run using
`nosetests`_ with the following command::

    nosetests

The output should be something like the following::

    $ nosetests
