Well, it can't do that in trio :-). One of trio's core design principles is: no detached processes. And even if you don't think detached processes are inherently a bad idea, I don't think they're what you'd want in this case anyway. If your socket shutdown code has frozen, you want to kill it and close the socket, not move it into the background where it can hang around indefinitely wasting resources. -n -- Nathaniel J.
