[New-bugs-announce] [issue9127] subprocess.Popen.communicate() and SIGCHLD handlers

[Benjamin Ryzman]

New submission from Benjamin Ryzman <benjamin+python at ryzman.fr>:

http://pastie.org/1025197

Is it deemed acceptable that setting up one's own SIGCHLD handler breaks communicate()?

I did not find it in the documentation.

With the above workaround one can mix communicate() processes with processes spawned in the background that one's too lazy to wait for.
