Don't store it in "a variable in the thread function," but in an 
instance attribute of the thread object.

Then the main program simply checks the object's attribute.  Since it 
launched the thread(s), it should know its (their) instances.  This way, 
the solution scales up as you add more threads, with different 
functionality.
