I would be inclined to use pdb, get hold of the offending object, and
then use http://mg.pov.lt/objgraph/ to find which global variable refers
to it.

(It could be a case of "if all you've got is a hammer", since objgraph is
still shiny in my mind.)

Because it was folded into the standard library in Python 2.4.
zope.thread.local() became threading.local()
