I have a program http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~dstromberg/looper/ that I use and maintain.
It's like GNU parallel or similar - yet another "run n processes, m at a time" implementation. Interestingly, I've only used/tested it on Linux, but it's under a Microsoft copyright because Microsoft acquired a Linux company I was working for. Anyway, it seems to work well, except one annoying bug. That bug is: if you control-C the top-level process, all the subprocesses are left running. I've been thinking about making it catch SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP, and having it SIGKILL its active subprocesses upon receiving one of these signals. However, it's multithreaded, and I've heard that in CPython, threads and signals don't mix well. Is this still an issue in CPython 3.5? If yes, how can I work around it?
