any harm in put django request object in thread local dict?

Question

I have some custom render_to_response methods which now needs request object, I could pass request to each one of them but instead I am saving request object in a middleware to thread local space and accessing it elsewhere, can it affect me anyway?

There shouldn't be any. Here you should find everything you need:
