Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svet...@gmail.com> added the comment:
The limitation is a consequence of how Linux works. Unix has no cross-platform API for non-blocking waiting for child process finish except handling SIGCHILD signal. On the other hand signal handlers in Python should work in the main thread. Your trick with a loop creation in the main thread and actual running in another thread can work, but asyncio doesn't guarantee it. The behavior can be broken in next releases, sorry. IIRC we discussed this scenario recently, official support for transferring a loop between threads is a too strict limitation, not all third-party implementations are ready for that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35635> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
