On Linux, a pidfd file descriptor can be created with os.pidfd_open() (added to Python 3.9). It would avoid even more race conditions. The best would be to request a pidfd file descriptor directly when we spawn the process which is possible on recent Linux kernel versions. > we should probably document it clearly in Popen.send_signal() and all of its > callers that these functions might reap the child. Feel free to propose a PR to document the behavior. I'm not sure of what you mean by send_signal() which "reaps" the child process. See also bpo-40550. Anyway, this issue and bpo-40550 are closed. I suggest to open a new issue to enhance the documentation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38630> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
