To be clear, what is unsafe on macOS (as of 10.13, but even more so on 10.14) is calling into the Objective-C runtime between fork and exec. The problem for Python is that it’s way too easy to do that implicitly, thus causing the macOS to abort the subprocess in surprising ways. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
