Putting this in a collections package might exacerbate the confusion
over its intended use.  It really is more of a threading
synchronization tool than a general queue datastructure (though it is
certainly possible to use in that fashion).

Perhaps the module can be renamed to conform to pep 8.  threadqueue?
Or, move into the threading module?

Does the sets module serve any purpose other than backward
compatibility?  Why not remove those module for py3k?

Especially considering:
In [6]: isinstance(set(), sets.BaseSet)
Out[6]: False
