[New-bugs-announce] [issue36084] Threading: add builtin TID attribute to Thread objects

[Jake Tesler]

New submission from Jake Tesler <jake.tesler at gmail.com>:

This functionality adds a native Thread ID to threading.Thread objects. This ID (TID), similar to the PID of a process, is assigned by the OS (kernel) and is generally used for externally monitoring resources consumed by the running thread (or process).
This does not replace the `ident` attribute within Thread objects, which is assigned by the Python interpreter and is guaranteed as unique for the lifetime of the Python instance.
