Why would you figure that it's the same thread?  You're just looking at 
the ID of the thread object in each process, and ID's have no promise of 
being unique between different processes, nor between multiple runs of 
the same program.   In CPython, the id is actually an address, and each 
process has its own address space.  The addresses happen to be the same 
because the main thread was created before you forked.
