[New-bugs-announce] [issue18161] call fchdir if subprocess.Popen(cwd=integer|fileobject)

[Марк Коренберг]

New submission from Марк Коренберг:

Today, subprocess allow to change directory only by using its name. What if I have only file descriptor referring to that dir?

It will be nice if such feture will be implemented. Now, I use preexc_fn to call os.fchdir() by hand.

We should handle close_fds *AFTER* calling fchdir() :)
