Yes we can check the length of queue object created from collections.

from collections import deque
class Queue():
    def __init__(self,batchSize=32):
        #self.batchSie = batchSize
        self._queue = deque(maxlen=batchSize)

    def enqueue(self, items):
        ''' Appending the items to the queue'''
        self._queue.append(items)

    def dequeue(self):
        '''remoe the items from the top if the queue becomes full '''
        return self._queue.popleft()

Creating an object of class

q = Queue(batchSize=64)
q.enqueue([1,2])
q.enqueue([2,3])
q.enqueue([1,4])
q.enqueue([1,22])

Now retrieving the length of the queue

#check the len of queue
print(len(q._queue)) 
#you can print the content of the queue
print(q._queue)
#Can check the content of the queue
print(q.dequeue())
#Check the length of retrieved item 
print(len(q.dequeue()))
