We can maybe add a parameter to configure the behaviour: keep current behaviour by default in Python 3.6 and change the default in Python 3.7 for example. > I could add Windows support for pass_fds, (...) Yes, we need a new "pass_handles" parameter to pass a list of handles which will be explicitly inherited. This parameter is useful even if you inherit all inheritable handles, because handles can be non-inhertable too. It's the same with pass_fds: if you pass a file descriptor in pass_fds, it will be marked as inheritable to be passed to the child. I guess that "pass_handles" will be implemented with PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST, or by making handles temporary inheritable if PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST is not available. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24909> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
