New submission from STINNER Victor:
It looks like asyncio does not suppport fork() currently: on fork(), the event
loop of the parent and the child process share the same "self pipe".
Example:
---
import asyncio, os
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
pid = os.fork()
if pid:
print("parent", loop._csock.fileno(), loop._ssock.fileno())
else:
print("child", loop._csock.fileno(), loop._ssock.fileno())
---
Output:
---
parent 6 5
child 6 5
---
I'm not sure that it's revelant to use asyncio with fork, but I wanted to open
an issue at least as a reminder.
I found the "self pipe" + fork issue when reading the issue #12060, while
working on a fix for the signal handling race condition on FreeBSD: issue
#21645.
