In Python, when using the ThreadPoolExecutor of concurrent.futures, it is hard to know how many elements are waiting in the queue to be processed. The best I could gather is ¹ :

executor._work_queue

That is the queue where the WorkItems are stored.

Can it be a good idea to create my own PoolExecutor?
