preexec_fn has been mentally and advisability deprecated for years. :) I'll mark it officially with pending deprecation in 3.9 destined to be removed in 3.11. tracking that in its own rollup issue https://bugs.python.org/issue38435 As far as posix_spawn goes, I expect these kinds of between fork+exec features to be something that prevents posix_spawn from being usable. As are many other things. People who want to use posix_spawn will need to know that and seek to avoid those. That's a documentation issue first and foremost. Our existing POpen API is very old and wasn't designed to make that nice. A new API could be made that *only* supports posix_spawn available features if you want an entrypoint that encourages the generally lower latency posix_spawn path. (A subprocess.spawn function similar to subprocess.run perhaps?) That should be taken up within its own enhancement issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
