Just FYI: in MACOSx, you can use  thread_info() to get that information.
Also you can get that information in Solaris,too. In yappi profiler I use
all of these approaches together to have an OS independent thread_times()
functionality. Here is the relevant code:

I also think that you are right about Python really not have any use case
for this functionality, ...
