[New-bugs-announce] [issue15330] allow deque to act as a thread-safe circular buffer

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdonek at gmail.com>:

It seems like it would be useful if collections.deque had a thread-safe method that could rotate(1) and return the rotated value.

This would let deque to act as a thread-safe circular buffer (e.g. if serving jobs to multiple threads in a loop, like `python -m test --forever`).
