RT @mitsuhiko: My experience with JavaScript over the weekend has now made me write a blog post: “Stop Being Cute and Clever”
The library provides a simple interface where queues are created on-demand and items added using the put() and get() methods. In addition, queues are iterable, pulling items out as they become available.
In addition, the put() method provides scheduling and prioritization options. An item can be scheduled for work at a particular time, and its work priority defined in terms of an expected time where the item must be worked.

Saving [quite a lot] of RAM with Python's slots
Offset is a Python implementation of the Go concurrency model. Offset was introduced at the Pycon APAC 2013.
Arrow is a Python library that offers a sensible, human-friendly approach to creating, manipulating, formatting and converting dates, times, and timestamps. It implements and updates the datetime type, plugging gaps in functionality, and provides an intelligent module API that supports many common creation scenarios. Simply put, it helps you work with dates and times with fewer imports and a lot less code.
Arrow is heavily inspired by moment.js and requests.
Why?
Python’s standard library and some other low-level modules have near-complete date, time and time zone functionality but don’t work very well from a usability perspective:
Too many modules: datetime, time, calendar, dateutil, pytz and more
Too many types: date, time, datetime, tzinfo, timedelta, relativedelta, etc.
Time zones and timestamp conversions are verbose and unpleasant
Time zone naivety is the norm
