"""Thread-local objects.

 class.  Depending on the version of Python you're using, there may be a
 faster one available.  You should always import the `local` class from
 `threading`.)

# We need to use objects from the threading module, but the threading
# module may also want to use our `local` class, if support for locals
# isn't compiled in to the `thread` module.  This creates potential problems
# with circular imports.  For that reason, we don't import `threading`
# until the bottom of this file (a hack sufficient to worm around the
# potential problems).  Note that all platforms on CPython do have support
# for locals in the `thread` module, and there is no circular import problem
# then, so problems introduced by fiddling the order of imports here won't
# manifest.
