[issue9148] os.execve puts process to background on windows
Thomas Sibley added the comment: Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was just discovering the same myself experimentally. The MS docs I linked to seem a little misleading. orz In that case, do you think a doc patch for os.exec* adding a more nuanced take on Windows support would be considered? I'd be glad to write it. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue9148> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Thomas Sibley added the comment: It seems like it would be very nice to provide compat if its possible with a minimum of effort. At the very least, a doc patch to os.exec*() seems warranted. I expected to find notes on platform compat in the doc and was pleasantly surprised to see the indication of Windows support! Only later did I find out that it is not meaningfully supported. :-( -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue9148> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Thomas Sibley added the comment: What about using _execv*() and friends, as documented at <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/execvp-wexecvp?view=vs-2017>? They appear to use the process overlay feature of _spawnv*() et al., as described at <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/spawn-wspawn-functions?view=vs-2017> and <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/c-runtime-library/process-and-environment-control?view=vs-2017>. -- type: behavior -> ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue9148> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
