PEP 446: Open issues/questions

Does such platform exist? (B) Should subprocess make the file descriptors of pass_fds inheritable? If yes, should it be done before or after the fork? If it is done after the fork and before exec, it only affects the child process, at least on Linux (the file descriptor is still non-inheritable in … [View More]

PEP 442 aftermath: module globals at shutdown
by Antoine Pitrou Aug. 1, 2013

Now that reference cycles aren't a barrier to object finalization anymore, we shouldn't need to set module globals to None before trying to reclaim modules. (and then, we don't need to cache global functions for use in finalizers, either) I have a patch to suppress the hack in http://bugs.python.org/issue18214 … [View More]
