Why PGThread neccesary?

I'm just learning about threading and I hope someone will answer this for me: Why is PGThread class neccesary? What is exactly doing?
It's strange because as I understand Django connections are implemented as thread locals, so schema, tenant could be set on the connection itself, no?

You always have excellent questions! 👍

I've been looking at django's code and at my code the last 45 minutes and can't think of any good reason. I even found the commit where I added this class e8e395a. To be honest I have no recollection of why this was needed. The comment on the class also doesn't make much sense "This is a bad monkey patching resulting from the fact that we can't separate public from shared apps right now. issue #1 on github". Maybe at that time I didn't know I could have used the connections as thread locals?

I'm always in favor of refactoring code that doesn't make sense. Do you want to send a patch?

Sure!
