[New-bugs-announce] [issue36619] when is os.posix_spawn(setsid=True) safe?

[cagney]

New submission from cagney <andrew.cagney at gmail.com>:

How can I detect that os.posix_spawn(setsid=True) is available at runtime?

I'd like to use os.posix_spawn(setsid=True) when it is available, and  (assuming I'm getting this right) os.posix_spawn(setpgroup=0) as a poor fallback.
