Nick Coghlan added the comment: I think that needs to be fixed on the multiprocessing side rather than just in the tests - we shouldn't create a concrete context for a start method that isn't going to work on that platform. Finding that kind of discrepancy was part of my rationale for basing the skips on the available contexts (although my main motivation was simplicity).
There may also be docs implications in describing which methods are supported on different platforms (although I haven't looked at how that is currently documented). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
