Martin Panter added the comment: I think the basic idea of adding the warning is good.
I think this might be a bit like open(closefd=True) and socket.detach(). Normally, it is a bug not to close a file or socket, but the API is flexible and has a way to bypass this. Perhaps the term “daemon” means something very specific that is not relevant. But as another example, how would you implement the “bg” and “fg” commands of a Unix shell with subprocess.Popen? The Python parent may need to exit cleanly if the child is still running in the background. I am not really familiar with it, but perhaps the webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser may be a use case for detach(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
