[New-bugs-announce] [issue34558] ctypes.find_library processing - missing parenthesis prevents subprocess from getting a returncode

[Michael Felt]

New submission from Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl>:

With AIX I have seen the following messages repeatedly:

root at x066:[/data/prj/python/python3-3.8]./python ../git/*3.8/Lib/ctypes/test/test_loading.py
/data/prj/python/git/python3-3.8/Lib/subprocess.py:852: ResourceWarning: subprocess 11796734 is still running
  ResourceWarning, source=self)
/data/prj/python/git/python3-3.8/Lib/subprocess.py:852: ResourceWarning: subprocess 11796480 is still running
  ResourceWarning, source=self)

There is python2 to python3 missed change typo that is preventing the returncode from ever being determined
