Interesting. Because both errors/conditions are mapped to ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE we need the creation time. I can work on a patch for that. Potentially I can also include OSX, Linux and BSD* implementations for methods involving os.kill(pid). That would be a broader task though. That also raises the question if there are other methods other than kill()/terminate()/send_signal() that we want to make "safe" from the reused PID scenario. > Also, unrelated but something I noticed.

Looks like it deserves a ticket. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
