I believe the underlying call to thread.start_new_thread() already returns the thread identifier that you want, but I haven't tried it recently and don't recall for sure. To use this, however, you'd have to patch the source or subclass, as I mentioned. I did this once and stored the result in the Thread as an attribute called .threadId and don't recall any problem using that. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
