[Bug 1628763] Re: Example of Queue from documentation fails

[Serhiy Storchaka]

This looks like there is a queue.py file in the current directory which
hides the queue module from the stdlib. In Python 2.7 this module is
named Queue and doesn't conflict with a local file queue.py.

Can you confirm Kevin?

Title:
  Example of Queue from documentation fails

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Reading https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/multiprocessing.html
  #exchanging-objects-between-processes, I have copy-pasted the code
  into a file.  Running it with python3 fails thus:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "q.py", line 7, in <module>
      q = Queue()
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/context.py", line 100, in Queue
      from .queues import Queue
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 20, in <module>
      from queue import Empty, Full
  ImportError: cannot import name 'Empty'

  
  I will attach the actual code file.
