This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.















  • If you're not using your queue as an inter-thread communication mechanism, you should be using collections.deque, not queue.Queue. If you are using your queue to communicate between threads, then a peek operation is rarely useful or safe for such use cases, and you should think carefully about whether you need it.

The Queue object has a collections.deque object attribute. Please see the Python documentation on accessing elements of the deque in regards to efficiency. A list may be a better use-case if you need to access elements randomly.



import queue

if __name__ == "__main__":
q = queue.Queue()
q.put(5)
q.put(7)

"""
dir() is helpful if you don't want to read the documentation
and just want a quick reminder of what attributes are in your object
It shows us there is an attribute named queue in the Queue class
"""
for attr in dir(q):
print(attr)

#Print first element in queue
print("nLooking at the first element")
print(q.queue[0])

print("nGetting the first element")
print(q.get())

print("nLooking again at the first element")
print(q.queue[0])


Note: I have abbreviated the output from the dir iterator



>>>
put
put_nowait
qsize
queue
task_done
unfinished_tasks

Looking at the first element
5

Getting the first element
5

Looking again at the first element
7
>>>
