It provides an object to be returned from threading.currentThread(). It
is created the first time an omniORB thread is used to call into Python,
and removed when the thread is about to exit, or hasn't been used for
Python calls for a while. It's called from code in pyThreadCache.cc. You
can add a hook to it with omniORB.addWThreadHook, documented in
omniORB/__init__.py.

Are you just asking out of interest, or do you have a specific problem?

Cheers,

Duncan.
