Help me to convert this code to Python 3

[Ade Ihsan]

long waitingTime(vector<int> tickets, int p) {

  // bool flag indicates whether it's Jesse or not

  queue<pair<int, bool> > aQueue;

  for(int i = 0; i < tickets.size(); i++) {

    aQueue.push(make_pair(tickets[i], i == p));

  }

  long long nTime = 1;

  while(!aQueue.empty()) {

    pair<int, bool> aItem = aQueue.front();

    aQueue.pop();

    nTime++;

    if(aItem.first == 1 && aItem.second == true)

      break;

    else if(aItem.first > 1) {

      aQueue.push(make_pair(aItem.first-1, aItem.second));

    }

  }

  return nTime-1;

}

I have questions.

1. Why is there so many blank lines?
2. What stopped you from converting this yourself?
3. More on question 2. What line did you need help with?
4. Also, read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

Why does this code look so much like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43950000/hackerrank-buying-show-tickets-optimization which is a post from about 2013?

It appears this is a online screening test of a company and is just one part of a longer app I see at https://pastebin.com/y34UERMj
