Guido van Rossum added in -Python 2.3 the thread ID to the interpreter state structure, and this allows -us to produce a dictionary mapping thread IDs to frames. - -I used these hooks to build a debugging module that is useful when you -are looking for deadlocks in a multithreaded application.

You can use the Makefile or the setup.py -script. There is a small test program test.py that illustrates how to use this -module to dump stack frames of all the Python interpreter threads.
