> The one potential problem that I see is that it looks like specifying PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST means that no other handles are inherited, even if they are inheritable.
We can maybe add a parameter to configure the behaviour: keep current behaviour by default in Python 3.6 and change the default in Python 3.7 for example.

Yes, we need a new "pass_handles" parameter to pass a list of handles which will be explicitly inherited. This parameter is useful even if you inherit all inheritable handles, because handles can be non-inhertable too.
It's the same with pass_fds: if you pass a file descriptor in pass_fds, it will be marked as inheritable to be passed to the child.
I guess that "pass_handles" will be implemented with PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST, or by making handles temporary inheritable if PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST is not available. |
