The documentation for Queue in all versions of Python 2.7 and 2.6 (see http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.7/library/queue.html#module-Queue for the 2.7 docs) has the title "queue -- A synchronized queue class." The module, however, is named "Queue" in all of 2.x. So, while the title is appropiate for 3.x, it's incorrect for 2.x.

I can make a patch, as well.

Sure, make a patch for 2.7 (the 2.6 line is now in "security only" mode).

Okay, here's a patch.

I also went ahead and added my name to ACKS, since this is my 3rd or 4th patch.
