FYI there is no time.threadtime() function. It would only be available on Windows and Linux. It does not use seconds but CPU cycles. No module or program of the Python source code need such function,

Just FYI: in MACOSx, you can use thread_info() to get that information. Also you can get that information in Solaris,too. In yappi profiler I use all of these approaches together to have an OS independent thread_times() functionality. Here is the relevant code: http://bitbucket.org/sumerc/yappi/src/7c7dc11e8728/timing.c<https://bitbucket.org/sumerc/yappi/src/7c7dc11e8728/timing.c>

I also think that you are right about Python really not have any use case for this functionality, ...
