The easiest way to provide threads with their own `httplib2.Http()` instances is to either override the construction of it within the service object or to pass an instance via the http argument to method calls.

```python
import google.auth
import googleapiclient
import google_auth_httplib2
import httplib2
from googleapiclient import discovery

# Create a new Http() object for every request
def build_request(http, *args, **kwargs):
new_http = httplib2.Http()
return apiclient.http.HttpRequest(new_http, *args, **kwargs)
service = build('api_name', 'api_version', requestBuilder=build_request)
new_htpp = google_auth_httplib2.AuthorizedHttp(credentials, http=httplib2.Http())
return googleapiclient.http.HttpRequest(new_http, *args, **kwargs)
service = discovery.build('api_name', 'api_version', requestBuilder=build_request)

# Pass in a new Http() manually for every request
service = build('api_name', 'api_version')
http = httplib2.Http()
service = discovery.build('api_name', 'api_version')
http = google_auth_httplib2.AuthorizedHttp(credentials, http=httplib2.Http())
service.stamps().list().execute(http=http)
