[issue37740] Python 3.7 sh hangs when using in threads, forking and logging

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

os.fork() cannot be safely used in an application that uses threads in any manner.  This is not something Python can fix.  This is a POSIX limitation.

The "sh" module on PyPI is incompatible with threaded applications on POSIX platforms due to its use of os.fork().

Raise this issue with them.
