> """Native integral thread ID of this thread or 0 if it has not been started. > (...) Why not set the attribute to None before a thread starts? It would be more consistent with the the "ident" attribute behavior, no? Extract __repr__(): def __repr__(self): assert self._initialized, "Thread.__init__() was not called" status = "initial" if self._started.is_set(): status = "started" ... if self._ident is not None: status += " %s" % self._ident return "<%s(%s, %s)>" % (self.__class__.__name__, self._name, status) "is None" is a reliable check to decide if the attribute is set or not. With the current implementation, it's hard to guess since PyThread_get_thread_native_id() returns on some platforms... But again, I would prefer to not have the attribute if PyThread_get_thread_native_id() is not available on a platform. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
