Both Queue and Deque are present in the built-in modules Queue and Collections in Python<\/a>, both of them are widely used data structures, but they are used for different purposes. Although both are different and used for very different purposes, they are in a way linked to each other in terms of complete functionality. In this article ,we will discuss the difference between both on the basis of usability, execution time, working, implementation, etc. in Python.<\/p>\n

queue.Queue<\/h3>\n

Queue is present in the queue module in Python which works on the FIFO (First in First out)<\/a> property. As the name suggests in Queue, the element inserted at first will be removed first. It is used to implement multi-producer, multi-consumer queues and it is very useful in threaded programming when we have to exchange the information safely between multiple threads. The Queue class in this module implements all the required locking semantics and it depends on the thread support\u2019s availability in Python.<\/p>\n
