I am a TaskQueue for dispatching arbitrary callables to be run by a single worker thread.

Having one and just one worker thread is surprisingly useful. It lets you do synchronous processing without blocking Twisted's event loop, yet assures you that objects processed during one queued task will not be disturbed until completion of the Deferred callback chain from that task.

Method	__init__	`ThreadQueue`(**kw)
Method	deferToThread	No summary

Inherited from TaskQueue:

Method	__len__	Returns my "length" as the number of workers currently at my disposal.
Method	__bool__	I evaluate as `True` if I am running and have at least one worker.
Method	isRunning	Returns `True` if shutdown has not been initiated and both my task handler and queue are running, `False` otherwise.
Method	shutdown	You must call this and wait for the `Deferred` it returns when you're done with me. Calls `Queue.shutdown`, among other things.
Method	attachWorker	Registers a new provider of `IWorker` for working on tasks from the queue.
Method	detachWorker	Detaches and terminates the worker supplied or specified by its ID.
Method	qualifyWorker	Adds the specified series to the qualifications of the supplied worker.
Method	workers	Returns the worker object specified by ID, or `None` if that worker is not employed with me.
Method	taskDone	Processes the status/result tuple from a worker running a task. You don't need to call this directly.
Method	newTask	Makes a new `tasks.Task` object from a func-args-kw combo. You won't call this directly.
Method	call	Queues up a function call.
Method	update	Sets an update task from func with any supplied arguments and keywords to be run directly on all current and future workers.
Method	_getWorkerID	Undocumented

def __init__(self, **kw):

overrides asynqueue.base.TaskQueue.__init__

ThreadQueue(**kw)

def deferToThread(self, f, *args, **kw):

Runs the f-args-kw call in my dedicated worker thread, skipping past the queue. As with a regular TaskQueue.call, returns a Deferred that fires with the result and deals with iterators.
