Lars Buitinck added the comment: In my patched version, the private popen.get_start_method gets a kwarg set_if_needed=True. popen.Popen calls that as before, so its behavior should not change, while the public get_start_method sets the kwarg to False.
I realise now that this has the side effect that get_start_method's output changes when multiprocessing has first been used, but then that reflects how the library works. Maybe this should be documented. As for the contexts, those would be great. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18999> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
