What's the life-time of a thread-local value in Python?
- by Carlos Valiente
import threading
mydata = threading.local()
def run():
# When will the garbage collector be able to destroy the object created
# here? After the thread exits from ``run()``? After ``join()`` is called?
# Or will it survive the thread in which it was created, and live until
# ``mydata`` is garbage-collected?
mydata.foo = object()
t = threading.Thread(target=run)
t.start()
t.join()
