FWIW, I wouldn't recommend relying on os.waitpid to get the correct process exit status in Windows. Status codes are 32 bits and generally all bits are required. os.waitpid left shifts the exit status by 8 bits in a dubious attempt to return a result that's "more like the POSIX waitpid". In particular, a program may exit abnormally with an NTSTATUS [1] or HRESULT [2] code such as STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND (0xC000_0135) or STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT (0xC000_013A).
