Summary: Queue class does not inherit object

Initial Comment:
Queue class does not inherit object, and thus is not a
so-called new-style class. 

That means you can't sub-class it and do things like
call super on it.

One would expect all classes shipped with the Python
library to inherit object, especially since it's so
easy to apply such a change.

Correction, both new and old style classes can be
subclassed.  Also, super() is best used on classes that were
specifically designed for it.

In general, we've had a policy of not converting modules
from old-style to new-style.   This avoids unnecessary
inter-version issues.
