Good that you got that working, but seriously...

Your initial description of your problem is *exactly* what Queue.Queue is
designed for, and it does it very simply, smoothly, and easily.  If you don't
use Queue, you're re-inventing the wheel, and probably won't do it quite as
thoroughly as Queue did.

And even if you *do* want to re-invent the wheel, you should read Queue's
source so that you can see how it ought to be done.  ;)
