[issue9205] Parent process hanging in multiprocessing if children terminate unexpectedly

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Here is a proof-of-concept patch that makes concurrent.futures able to detect killed processes. Works only under POSIX, and needs issue11743.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to change the multiprocessing public API (SimpleQueue.get()) for this.
