Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        boost_queue.cpp contains a queue class which follows the API from Queue.Queue of 
        the Python stdlib. The main difference is how the underlying locking is done. In
        Python-2.X Queue.Queue uses a busy loop in case of a blocking operation. 
        This queue implementation uses condition variables from Boost to avoid the busy
        loop.
        
        concurrent_queue.hpp contains the Python independent C++ Queue
        
        Changelog
        =========
        
        0.3 - March 03, 2012
        --------------------
        
        * Fix a memory leak
        * Release the GIL less often. Now the GIL is only released if the queue needs to wait.
          In the versions before the GIL was released on *every* get/put operation which led
          to a lot of unneeded context switches. This change leads to a significant
          performance improvement if you work heavily on the queue.
        
        0.2 - February 27, 2012
        -----------------------
        
        Let boost_queue.Empty and boost_queue.Full exceptions inhert from Queue.Empty and
        Queue.Full. This allows other code to pass around the boost_queue.Queue object without
        too many changes in old code.
