Hmmm...  I don't see a priority associated with items when you push them
onto the queue in heappush().  This seems somewhat different than my notion
of a priority queue.

Seems to me that you could implement the type of priority queue I'm think of
rather easily using a class that wraps a list of Queue.Queue objects.  Am I
missing something obvious?
