I don't think it's necessary. I put it there because when I was testing I thought it might help. For example, you might want to keep the pipes open and then open another process with close_fds=False, thus changing the current default might cause some regressions in some software and an argument would allow an easier transition. I updated the patch removing anything unnecessary. Though it still has a huge race when used with threading. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20000/subprocess-cloexec-py3k.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
