Richard Oudkerk added the comment: Presumably this is caused by the fact that Popen.__del__() ressurects self by appending self to _active if the process is still alive.
On Windows this is unnecessary. On Unix it would be more sensible to just append the *pid* to _active. ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18121> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
