Martin Panter added the comment: I don’t think Victor likes #2 because of the zombie. I would be interested in #4 (one of the documented purposes of subprocess is to replace os.system), but it might need careful consideration and discussion. Ignoring signals is such a significant change I think it would have to be a new feature for 3.6+ only.
Mike/Victor, what do you think of my proposal (call it #6) about waiting a second time before resorting to SIGKILL? Posting a patch which implements this. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42483/second-wait.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25942> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
