New submission from STINNER Victor: In the implementation of the PEP 446, issue #18571, I replaced multiprocessing.util.pipe() with os.pipe() in the multiprocessing module.
Can we remove the multiprocessing.util.pipe() function? It is not public nor documented. Charles-François Natali added the comment (in issue #18571): 14.1 --- a/Lib/multiprocessing/util.py 14.2 +++ b/Lib/multiprocessing/util.py 14.13 # 14.14 # Return pipe with CLOEXEC set on fds 14.15 # 14.16 +# Deprecated: os.pipe() creates non-inheritable file descriptors 14.17 +# since Python 3.4 14.18 +# 14.19 14.20 def pipe(): 14.21 - import _posixsubprocess 14.22 - return _posixsubprocess.cloexec_pipe() 14.23 + return os.pipe() I guess you could remove util.pipe() altogether: it wasn't part of the public API. ---------- messages: 196354 nosy: haypo, neologix, sbt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: multiprocessing: remove util.pipe()? versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18865> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
