According to the discussion in PR 14051: if os.dup() fails to make the new file descriptor new inheritable for a character device, the error must not be ignored. Instead, the caller is supposed to use os.dup(fd, inheritable=False). Before *this bugfix*, os.dup() didn't respect its contract: fd2 was inheritable sometimes. Now the caller is aware of such special case and so can handle it properly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37267> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
