Thanks for the instructive feedback :)

I totally agree i guess there is a lot of issues that i didn't think of :-(, my first thinking was to use "Pool.join" timeout argument but it was removed in 3.2 (by the way i didn't find the issue or the rational that lead to this change).

And now that i know about "faulthandler" module i guess that will make also my life easier :), i will rewrite the patch in the issue #12157 to not use any *fancy* way to check if it will hang.

cheers,
