python Queue一般用于哪些方面，这段代码大概是什么流程意思，谢谢

Answer 1

Queue 这个数据结构我比较少用，不过查阅了一下 Python documentation:

The Queue module implements multi-producer, multi-consumer queues. It is especially useful in threaded programming when information must be exchanged safely between multiple threads. The Queue class in this module implements all the required locking semantics. It depends on the availability of thread support in Python; see the threading module.

The document states that this is a thread-safe queue, so it can be used in a multi-producer and multi-consumer competition environment, which is common in multi-threaded programming.

This is my opinion on Queue 的理解，现在说会问题中的代码，这段代码从名字上可以比较清晰得看出是一个客户端的池，当你需要获得一个客户端的时候，调用get_client()方法，它会返回一个SyncClient客户端给你，当你用完之后，别忘了调用：return_client(client)Change it back, otherwise, there will be a large wave of clients. The design here should be to create a large number of clients, which will be problematic.

That’s about it, I don’t know if the questioner understands it.

Queue is a thread-safe queue. As for the code given, @yylucifer explained it clearly. It is actually a reusable client pool. This usage is very common. You can see redis-py’s pool design, blockconnectionpool, basically It’s all the same idea.
