[New-bugs-announce] [issue8690] multiprocessing.dummy.Queue does not expose same interface as multiprocessing.Queue

[Jason Baker]

New submission from Jason Baker <amnorvend at gmail.com>:

The multiprocessing.dummy.Queue class is merely an import of Queue.Queue.  There are a few methods that this does not provide however:  close, join_thread, and cancel_join_thread.

I don't know what the best way to handle this is, but it should be pretty trivial to add methods that do nothing or at least throw a NotImplementedError.
