Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment: The current implementation looks half-baked to me. It doesn't implement the following features:
1. posix_spawnp(). It is like posix_spawn(), but searches an executable in PATH. 2. Passing various attributes of the created child process. POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK, POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM, etc. And I have doubts about introducing constants like POSIX_SPAWN_OPEN: 1. There is no need to make them integers. They could be strings (for readability) or opaque values. 2. Their names can conflict with future standard constants related to posix_path(). Implementing new features in 3.8 can conflict with the current design. Removing posix_spawn() in 3.7 and deferring the work to 3.8 still looks a better solution to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20104> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
