Python multirprocessing Queue failure
===

I create 100 child processes

    proc_list = [
        Process(target = simulator, args=(result_queue,))
        for i in xrange(100)]

and start them

    for proc in proc_list: proc.start()

Each process puts into the result_queue (instance of multiprocessing.Queue) 10000 tuples after doing some processing.

    def simulator(result_queue):
      all_tuples = simulate()
      for tuple in all_tuples:
        result_queue.put(tuple)

I should be (?) getting 1000000 tuples at the queue, but after various runs I get these (sample) sizes:
14912
19563
12952
13524
7487
18350
15986
11928
14281
14282
7317

Any suggestions?
