STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
On Windows, the threads reading pipes continue to run even after the direct child process exited. Problem: at Python exit (main process), Python hangs on calling threading._shutdown() which waits until all Python threads complete. One enhancement would be to spawn subprocess.Popen.communicate() internal threads as daemon threads. So threading._shutdown() would not wait for them at Python exit. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
