Unique thread ID

Is there a way to obtain a unique ID for the current thread? I have an
object that I need to store local thread data in, and I don't want to
use threading.local because each thread might have multiple instances
of my object.

You can use the thread itself, it's usable as key (that's what
threadlocals use for their implementation anyway)

But I don't understand your problem - all thread-local implementations I
know of (is there a standard?) can be instantiated in each object and
then offer a get/set method (keyed or not) - but without interfering
with outher instances of themselves of course.

threading.get_i dent() but please use threading.local . Nobody is going to
stop you if you use a list or dict in threading.local .

then, I have to figure out how to represent an instance of my object
in threading.local . (The data also won't be garbage collect when my
object is, will it?) I think the unique id is elegant in this case.

I think you didn't get how threading.local works yet. It's a lot easier
than you imply. Just store your instances as attributes of a
threading.local object. You may use a list or dictionary if you want
multiple instances.
Read _threading_loca l.py, it contains a lot of examples.

Hello, Is there any way to acquire a unique Machine ID, Hard Drive ID or Windows Installation ID? Im looking for a way to uniquely identify a physical installation and connection. The problem with using user names is that the user can travel in the network. The problem using machine name is that there can be two of the same machine name on the network (using TCP/IP only , no Netbeui). Any help would be great! Thanks!
