In some applications, you might need to implement a queue that starts off empty, but you want it to grow and be limited to a certain length. Such a queue with a maximum length can be implemented easily using deque:
# Queue with max length of 3
from collections import deque
q = deque( maxlen=3 )
# deque([])
q.append( 10 )
q.append( 20 )
q.append( 30 )
# deque([ 10, 20, 30 ])
q.append( 40 )
# deque([ 20, 30, 40 ])
