"""Thread-local objects.

(Note that this module provides a Python version of the threading.local

 class.  Depending on the version of Python you're using, there may be a

 faster one available.  You should always import the `local` class from

 `threading`.)

Thread-local objects support the management of thread-local data.

If you have data that you want to be local to a thread, simply create

a thread-local object and use its attributes:

  >>> mydata = local()

  >>> mydata.number = 42

  >>> mydata.number

  42

You can also access the local-object's dictionary:

  >>> mydata.__dict__

  {'number': 42}

  >>> mydata.__dict__.setdefault('widgets', [])

  []

  >>> mydata.widgets

  []

What's important about thread-local objects is that their data are

local to a thread. If we access the data in a different thread:

  >>> log = []

  >>> def f():

  ...     items = mydata.__dict__.items()

  ...     items.sort()

  ...     log.append(items)

  ...     mydata.number = 11

  ...     log.append(mydata.number)

  >>> import threading

  >>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)

  >>> thread.start()

  >>> thread.join()

  >>> log

  [[], 11]

we get different data.  Furthermore, changes made in the other thread

don't affect data seen in this thread:

  >>> mydata.number

  42

Of course, values you get from a local object, including a __dict__

attribute, are for whatever thread was current at the time the

attribute was read.  For that reason, you generally don't want to save

these values across threads, as they apply only to the thread they

came from.

You can create custom local objects by subclassing the local class:

  >>> class MyLocal(local):

  ...     number = 2

  ...     initialized = False

  ...     def __init__(self, **kw):

  ...         if self.initialized:

  ...             raise SystemError('__init__ called too many times')

  ...         self.initialized = True

  ...         self.__dict__.update(kw)

  ...     def squared(self):

  ...         return self.number ** 2

This can be useful to support default values, methods and

initialization.  Note that if you define an __init__ method, it will be

called each time the local object is used in a separate thread.  This

is necessary to initialize each thread's dictionary.

Now if we create a local object:

  >>> mydata = MyLocal(color='red')

Now we have a default number:

  >>> mydata.number

  2

an initial color:

  >>> mydata.color

  'red'

  >>> del mydata.color

And a method that operates on the data:

  >>> mydata.squared()

  4

As before, we can access the data in a separate thread:

  >>> log = []

  >>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)

  >>> thread.start()

  >>> thread.join()

  >>> log

  [[('color', 'red'), ('initialized', True)], 11]

without affecting this thread's data:

  >>> mydata.number

  2

  >>> mydata.color

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  ...

  AttributeError: 'MyLocal' object has no attribute 'color'

Note that subclasses can define slots, but they are not thread

local. They are shared across threads:

  >>> class MyLocal(local):

  ...     __slots__ = 'number'

  >>> mydata = MyLocal()

  >>> mydata.number = 42

  >>> mydata.color = 'red'

So, the separate thread:

  >>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)

  >>> thread.start()

  >>> thread.join()

affects what we see:

  >>> mydata.number

  11

>>> del mydata

# We need to use objects from the threading module, but the threading

# module may also want to use our `local` class, if support for locals

# isn't compiled in to the `thread` module.  This creates potential problems

# with circular imports.  For that reason, we don't import `threading`

# until the bottom of this file (a hack sufficient to worm around the

# potential problems).  Note that almost all platforms do have support for

# locals in the `thread` module, and there is no circular import problem

# then, so problems introduced by fiddling the order of imports here won't

# manifest on most boxes.
