[New-bugs-announce] [issue32871] Interrupt .communicate() on SIGTERM/INT

[Victor Porton]

New submission from Victor Porton <porton at narod.ru>:

At https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html there is said nothing about what happens if our Python program terminates (by SIGTERM or SIGINT) while waiting for .communicate().

I assume to do something in this situation is just forgotten.

Usually terminate of our program should also terminate the invoked script. It can be made by re-delivery SIGTERM/SIGINT or (on non-POSIX) by .terminate() method. Probably, it should be done by .terminate() method even on POSIX systems, to handle SIGTERM and SIGINT in the same way.
