New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
subprocess.Popen uses _winapi.CreateProcess() to spawn a child process. It stores the process handle using a Handle class. Popen never explicitly releases the handle, it rely on Handle.__del__ when the Popen object is detroyed (when Popen._handle attribute is cleared). As discussed in bpo-37380, we could call explicitly CloseHandle(handle) as soon as the child process completes, to release resources in the Windows kernel. Attached PR implements this fix. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 346603 nosy: vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [Windows] subprocess: close the handle when the process completes type: resource usage versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37410> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
