Python 3.8 will support os.posix_spawn(). I would like to see it used
whenever possible instead of fork+exec, since it's faster and it can
be safer on some platforms. Pablo Salgado is your guy for that.

Awesome! Will this backported to 2.7? Or people should forget 2.7?
Normally, enhancements are not backported anywhere. New API == new
version of Python. You can, and people and organizations do, compile
your own customized version.
Official (pydev) bugfixes for 2.7 end 1 Jan 2020. Many projects have
already stopped or will stop before then fixing 2.7 versions of their
packages. But some people will probably use it for at least another
decade. Do what is best for you.
