Howto wait for multiple queues (Queue.py)?

How about you maintain a single Queue which holds the other Queues?  When a
Queue goes empty it gets removed from the main Queue.  When something is
put() into it, it's added to the main Queue if it's not already there.  Your
consumers then wait on the main Queue.

Seems simple enough to subclass Queue and tweak its get and put methods.

Perhaps this was one of the alternatives you described but I didn't
understand.
