New submission from Karl Richter: The [documentation of subprocess](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/subprocess.html) doesn't contain a substantial statement how signals are handled which are send to the python interpreter. After reading the referenced docs it should be clear
* whether a signal is passed to both the parent and the child (If yes in which order? What happens if the child process spawns a process which isn't controlled by python?) * whether signal handlers are inherited (judging from the `restore_signals` parameter some are overwritten -> what's the purpose of this?). Are changes of a signal handler in the parent reflected in the child? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 255802 nosy: docs@python, krichter priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add an explanation what happens with subprocess parent and child processes when signals are sent versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25787> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
