[New-bugs-announce] [issue29174] 'NoneType' object is not callable in subprocess.py

[ita1024]

New submission from ita1024:

Please try the attached testcase with `python3.6 test.py`; Python 3.6 displays unnecessary warnings of the following form:

$ ../test.py
Exception ignored in: <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x7fe6744fc5c0>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 761, in __del__
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
Exception ignored in: <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x7fe6744fc550>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 761, in __del__

These warnings appear because of the line "warnings.warn" recently added in subprocess.Popen.__del__:
1. The call to warnings.warn is not usable during interpreter shutdown (and running `python -W ignore test.py` has no effect)
2. Calling "process.terminate()" or "process.kill()" at in the testcase or in an atexit handler would not get rid of the warning, one must set the return code on the Popen object
3. The warning can show up in existing code that has absolutely no zombie problems.

I suggest to revert the recently added warning from subprocess.py:
