Thread locals restrict themselves to thread lifecycle; werkzeug locals restrict themselves to request lifecycle. They are 2 very different things. > Which is exactly how Python's threadlocals work. Except for different lifecycle. > You do realize that nothing stops you from "cleaning up" your threadlocal "when the request completes" right? That "cleaning up" makes it request local, not thread local. They are global for the duration of the request and one request scope is separate from another request which makes them request local(how it is done is immaterial). Spare me the definition of global. There is no point in continuing this discussion any further since I don't seem to have any epiphany from your insights; and doesn't seem like you are going to have one either.
