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 WNOWAIT flags, which means "return status, let process remain waitable (=don't reap)". What do you think, can this feature fix the problem with FastChildWatcher? |

Hm... Looks like this wouldn't work unless we also implemented the waitid() (note: 'id', not 'pid') syscall, as waitpid() doesn't support this flag (e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840782). |

Oh, hm, we do seem to have os.waitid() but not on OS X... Well that makes producing a reasonable patch much more complicated. Maybe you want to add a 3rd ChildWatcher just for Linux (or just for platforms that have os.waitid)? (If so, please submit a PR to https://github.com/python/asyncio, which we use as "upstream".) |
