New submission from WGH :
In Linux, it's possible to create an unnamed temporary file in a specified
directory by using open with O_TMPFILE flag (as if it was created with random
name and immediately unlinked, but atomically). Unless O_EXCL is specified, the
file can be then linked

I think it is the other way around. Fro

The problem with FastChildWatcher lies in the fact that it can accidentally
reap processes that it doesn't watch.
However, os module includes waitid function (since Python 3.3), and it has
