Excellent! :)

One more minor motivating case:

     q = queue.Queue(maxsize=10)
     ...
     item = q.get_nowait() except Full: default

(in case of a list you could check its length to avoid catching
exception; but Queue's usage cases are typically multi-threading
-related so the "check and then get" way is not an option then)

Cheers.
