Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment:
Here's a patch adding O_CLOEXEC to the os module, with test. This patch makes
it possible to open and set a FD CLOEXEC atomically.
O_CLOEXEC is part of POSIX.1-2008, supported by the Linux kernel since 2.6.23
and has been committed recently to FreeBSD.
Note that I'm not sure that adding this flag to built-in open() is necessarily
a good idea, because it's not portable and low-level.
The same functionality can be more or less achieved with:
f = os.fdopen(os.open('/etc/fstab', os.O_RDONLY|os.O_CLOEXEC))
