Priority Queue Using List

p
"""
Pure Python implementations of a Fixed Priority Queue and an Element Priority Queue
using Python lists.

    Tasks can be added to a Priority Queue at any time and in any order but when Tasks
    are removed then the Task with the highest priority is removed in FIFO order.  In
    code we will use three levels of priority with priority zero Tasks being the most
    urgent (high priority) and priority 2 tasks being the least urgent.
