FYI, the _xxsubinterpreters module serves several purposes. First, it allows us to more thoroughly test the subinterpreter functionality of CPython (doing so via _testembed and _testcapi is messy), effectively in test__xxsubinterpreters. Second, it is the foundation for helpers (which I intend on adding to test.support in the 3.8 time frame) for easily using subinterpreters in the test suite in lieu of subprocesses. Third, ultimately it will be the low-level implementation of PEP 554. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35984> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
