> Out of interest, is there any reason that the configure check for pipe2 is a special case near the bottom of configure.in instead of with all the other function checks in the AC_CHECK_FUNCS[] section in the middle?
No clue. I'll fix that.
> Also, the pure python implementation of subprocess for posix can now be updated to use pipe2 if it exists (previously on _posixsubprocess.c used it).
I don't understand the last part :-)
What do you suggest?
Use os.pipe2 if available, otherwise use _posixsubprocess.c (because
it has the advantage of running with the GIL held) if available, and
use os.pipe + fcntl as last resort?
By the way, what's the reason for having a both a Python and a C implementation?
Are they some configurations where _posixsubprocess could not be available? |
