Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: One benefit (or drawback, depending on how you see it) of the -X option is that it wouldn't propagate to child processes spawned by multiprocessing. See _args_from_interpreter_flags() in Lib/subprocess.py.
More generally, the idea that we should remove a command line option because there's an environment variable sounds dubious to me. Should we do the same for all command-line options? The faulthandler module can be enabled either using the `PYTHONFAULTHANDLER` environment variable or by specifying `-X faulthandler` on the command line. The only serious reason I can imagine would be that the -X option has a significant maintenance cost. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31415> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
