Charles-Francois Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: Note that the setpgid creation part is now somewhat redundant with Popen's start_new_session flag (which calls setsid). Also, this should probably be an option, since with that patch every subprocess is in its own process group.

No. When setpgid/setsid is called, a new group is created, so process C will be not be part of the same group as B. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5115> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
