heapq intermediate patterns

More advanced usage patterns for heapq.

python
# heapq - intermediate patterns
import heapq

print("Intermediate heapq usage patterns")
print(f"Module doc: {heapq.__doc__[:100] if heapq.__doc__ else 'No docstring'}...")

Combining heapq with other standard library modules.

python
