[issue21594] asyncio.create_subprocess_exec raises OSError

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I'm not sure. Running out of file descriptors is really not something a
library can handle on its own -- this needs to be kicked back to the app to
handle. E.g. by pacing itself, or closing some connections, or changing the
system limit... The library really can't know what to do, and just waiting
until the condition magically clears seems asking for mysterious hangs.
