For instance, in apache mod_python (or any situation where
you don't control thread creation), the "main thread" has nothing
special, it's just the first one to import libxml2.
It is then used for normal processing.

That means that if  I want to set a global for all the threads,
I must initialize it "twice":

import libxml2
libxml2.lineNumbersDefault(1) # for the main (current) thread
libxml2.setGlobalLineNumbersDefault(1) # for other threads
