Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I've decided it's better to raise a ValueError if the child process hasn't stopped yet. After all, join() alone may have no effect: often you want to send the process a signal (a literal signal in UNIX terms, or a figurative signal such as write something on a socket, etc.) to ask it to terminate gently.
I'm gonna update the PR soon. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30596> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
