[New-bugs-announce] [issue15983] multiprocessing JoinableQueue's join function with timeout

[Karl Bicker]

New submission from Karl Bicker:

The multiprocessing.JoinableQueue's function join() should have a timeout argument so that one can check on other things while waiting for a queue to finish.

As join() uses a condition to wait anyway, a timeout is easily implemented and passed to the Condidition.wait(). Patch is attached.
