New submission from Rob <r...@appkingsoftware.com>:
Hi, In the docs for the asyncio event loop, it has a note on page: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#running-subprocesses "Note The default asyncio event loop on Windows does not support subprocesses. See Subprocess Support on Windows for details." Then following the link in that note to: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-platforms.html#subprocess-support-on-windows Says: "On Windows, the default event loop ProactorEventLoop supports subprocesses, whereas SelectorEventLoop does not." So the issue is, there are conflicting statements about default support for asyncio subprocesses on Windows. It seems the first statement listed above, is wrong or outdated since the default event loop on Windows is the ProactorEventLoop which does support subprocesses. Thank you! ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 406967 nosy: Rob4226, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Conflicting statements in docs about default support for asyncio subprocesses on Windows versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
