[issue36049] No __repr__() for queue.PriorityQueue and queue.LifoQueue

[Zahash Z]

Zahash Z <zahash.z at gmail.com> added the comment:

If you look at the queue.PriorityQueue class, there is self.queue = [ ].

That's because priority queue uses list data structure to implement the min
heap data structure (on which priority queue is based on).

So the list can be represented.
There is no need to remove anything.
