> To be clear, what is unsafe on macOS (as of 10.13, but even more so on 10.14) is calling into the Objective-C runtime between fork and exec.  The problem for Python is that it’s way too easy to do that implicitly, thus causing the macOS to abort the subprocess in surprising ways.

Do only a few Python module use the Objective-C runtime? Or is it basically "everything"?

If it's just a few, would it be possible to emit a warning or even an exception if called in a child process after fork?
