[PATCH] threadutil: explicitly import get_ident from thread

[Nicolas Sebrecht]

The python module thread is the low-level module we should avoid to use in favor
of threading. We still need it to support old python because Thread.ident
doesn't exist before python 2.6:

	http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.ident

Make it clear we should avoid it.
