I hope that it will take less time to expose pidfd_open() in Python! It is *already* available in the Linux kernel 5.3. My laptop is already running Linux 5.3! (Thanks Fedora 30.) I would prefer to keep an API to choose the child watcher since it seems like even in 2019, there are still new APIs (pidfd) to wait for a process completion. I expect that each implementation will have advantages and drawbacks. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
