New submission from Justin Lebar <justin.le...@gmail.com>:
>From https://bugs.python.org/issue1187312 about regular subprocesses: > So as long as the application keeps a reference to the > subprocess object, it can wait for it; auto-reaping only > starts when the last reference was dropped [in Popen.__del__]. asyncio subprocesses seem to behave differently. When we notice the process has exited in BaseSubprocessTransport._process_exited, we call _try_finish(), which -- if all pipes are closed -- calls _call_connection_lost and sets self._proc to None. At this point, my understanding is that once self._proc is GC'ed, we'll run Popen.__del__ and may reap the pid. I would expect asyncio subprocesses to behave the same way as regular Popen objects wrt pid reaping. ---------- components: asyncio messages: 365095 nosy: Justin.Lebar, asvetlov, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: asyncio subprocesses allow pids to be reaped, different behavior than regular subprocesses _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40078> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
