In app engine, is there any way to programmatically get a list of pending tasks in a given queue?

No. Because of the way taskqueues work in App Engine, there is no way to do this using the built-in taskqueue library. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

See the Task Queue Python API Overview for details on the built-in taskqueues. You can manage your queues in the Administration Console: Manage task queues, allowing for pausing, purging, and deleting queues. Manage individual tasks in a task queue, allowing for viewing, deleting, or running individual tasks immediately.

There is a library called asynctools that allows more programmatic access to queue status, though you will likely have to restructure your program to use it.

1 Asynctools doesn't provide programmatic access to task queue status - it's a library for doing API calls in parallel. – Nick Johnson Mar 9 at 19:29.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
