[issue8690] multiprocessing.dummy.Queue does not expose same interface as multiprocessing.Queue

[Ray.Allen]

Ray.Allen <ysj.ray at gmail.com> added the comment:

+1 on make it identical to multiprossing.Queue. Since the documentation said:

multiprocessing.dummy replicates the API of multiprocessing but is no more than a wrapper around the threading module.

Does the word "replicates" implies that multiprossing.dummy.[AClass] should have the same interfaces as multiprossing.[AClass]? I think so. We should be able to use multiprossing.dummy.xxx wherever multiprossing.xxx can be used. We can just create a subclass of Queue.Queue and implemented these missing methods as dummy functions.

I wonder is there other inconsistence between multiprocessing.dummy and multiprocessing?
