See issue 36067 for a related discussion. The _active list and _cleanup function are not required in Windows. When a process exits, it gets rundown to free its handle table and virtual memory. Only the kernel object remains, which is kept alive by pointer and handle references to it that can query information such as the exit status code. As soon as the last reference is closed, the Process object is automatically reaped. It doesn't have to be waited on. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37380> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
