May I ask why you want to get the TID? You can't do anything useful with
it. You can't kill a thread safely, neither from within Python nor from
the outside world. thread.get_ident() gives you an id. On pthread based
systems the function uses pthread_self().
For TLS, Python has builtin classes that are hooked into Python's
internal threading system.
