Threading identifier was not given a unique name. So, a name will be passed to force it. This behaviour is described at threading docs: https://docs.python.org/2/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.ident Thread identifiers may be recycled when a thread exits and another thread is created. The identifier is available even after the thread has exited.
