New submission from Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org>:
Another use of the deprecated unsafe preexec_fn was to call os.umask in the child prior to exec. As seen in https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/3769 (see the code in there). We should add an explicit feature for this to avoid people's desire for preexec_fn or for the heavyweight workaround of an intermediate shell calling umask before doing another exec. Any common preexec_fn uses that we can encode into supported parameters will help our ability to remove the ill fated preexec_fn misfeature in the future. ---------- messages: 354238 nosy: gregory.p.smith priority: high severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add support for settting umask in subprocess children type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
