Just for the record, I was about to try to do this, when I realized that exposing prctl requires expecting a variable number of arguments with variable types. It turns out providing a Python wrapper for such a kind of C API is just a pain. There's an implementation though, handling 2 args only (instead of 5): https://github.com/seveas/python-prctl/blob/master/_prctlmodule.c#L9 Considering that this also Linux-only, I don't think it really worths the effort. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
