title: Interrupting a Queue.get
body: <p>How can I interrupt a blocking <code>Queue.get()</code> in Python 3.X?</p>
  
  <p>In Python 2.X <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/212797/1658617">setting a long timeout</a> seems to work but the same cannot be said for Python 3.5.</p>
  
  <p>Running on Windows 7, CPython 3.5.1, 64 bit both machine and Python.
  Seems like it does not behave the same on Ubuntu.</p>
