Already done!

Handling fallbacks when shiny new features are unavailable is what
autoconf is for, though :)
The fact thread specific storage support made it directly into C11
makes me more confident in dropping our emulation,
Hi,
Sometimes, for an unknown reason, test_nntplib fails randomly:
http://bugs.python.org/issue19613
Martin Panter wrote a patch, but since I don't know how to reproduce
the bug, I'm unable to test it. Moreover, I don't know nntplib nor
test_nntplib, so I don't feel able to review it.

times, they look at this fallback and found an issue, whereas I'm not
aware of any platform using this fallback anymore.
Can you please write a PR just to remove this fallback? We can merge
it and then check buildbots :-) So in the w

Hi, python-dev.
I'd propose removing code which I think out-of-date.
CPython has provided the own implementation for thread-local storage (TLS)
on Python/thread.c, it's used in the case which a platform has not supplied
native TLS. However, currently all supported platforms (NT and pthreads)
have
