New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>:
os.fork() potentially has some problematic behavior when called from a subinterpreter. In additional to the normal fork+threads madness, there's the question of what to do with existing subinterpreters. The simplest solution is to simply disallow fork in a subinterpreter and then wipe out all subinterpreters in the child process post-fork (if os.fork() called in the main interpreter). ---------- assignee: eric.snow components: Interpreter Core messages: 325181 nosy: eric.snow, gregory.p.smith priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Disallow fork in a subinterpreter. versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
