Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:
this is part of a chain of other related issues. the interesting thing in the patch in here is the potential feature to have send_signal/terminate/kill be able to optionally kill a process group. the logic as is in the patch in this issue is dangerous as often the calling process _is_ the pgrp leader and would be killed. we _never_ want the subprocess signaling methods to kill the current process as that would be surprising to users. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue5115> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
