[Grok-dev] Managing non-persisted objects

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

Another aproach is to create one COM object per thread and store it in
a module-level global dictionary keyed by the thread id. Then in your
persistent class you create a method or property to do a "fetch or
create" on this dictionary.

I'd go as far as saying you don't even need to worry about locking
this module-level global dictionary before querying or modifying it
since you'd never have a race condition on the presence of the
"thread-id" keyed value, and the Python GIL would take care of the
contention on the dictionary itself.
