Hi Yuriy,
For the record, it isn't necessary to cross-post. python-ideas is
the place for discussing this, and most interested people will be
subscribed to both python-ideas and python-dev, and therefore they get
duplicate messages.

Antoine.

Hi,
The SocketServer class creates a socket to listen on clients, and a
new socket per client (only for stream server like TCPServer, not for
UDPServer).
Until recently (2011-05-24, issue #5715), the listening socket was not
closed after fork for the ForkingMixIn flavor. This caused two issues:

There's no correlation between PyArenas and the extensive use of the
term "arena" in obmalloc.c, right?
I initially assumed there was, based solely on the common use of
the term arena. However, after more investigation, it *appears*
as though there's absolutely no correlation.

Although obvious, the security implications are not restricted to
sockets (yes, it's a contrived example):

I realized that setting close-on-exec flag is a non trivial problem.
There are many ways to set it depending on the function, on the OS,
and on the OS version. There is also the difficult question of the
