See the xreadlines module (mentioned below) for how to do this for other file-like objects. Even if you don't use file.xreadlines(), you may expect a speedup on line-by-line input. The file.readline() method has been optimized quite a bit in platform-specific ways: on systems (like Linux) that support flockfile(), getc_unlocke...

Queue.Queue.{put,get} now support an optional timeout argument. Various fea...
