> I think this needs to be fixed or process groups in regrtest should be limited or reverted. What do you mean by "limited"? Process groups really help to prevent to leak grandchild processes in multiprocessing tests, when tests are interrupted manually by CTRL+C or by a timeout (sadly, only when the timeout is handled by regrtest, not when it's handled by faulthandler). See bpo-38502 for the rationale.

What do you mean by "limited"?

Process groups really help to prevent to leak grandchild processes in multiprocessing tests, when tests are interrupted manually by CTRL+C or by a timeout (sadly, only when the timeout is handled by regrtest, not when it's handled by faulthandler).
