I already ran the whole Python test suite with non-inheritable file descriptors when I developed the PEP 433: it just works. So I'm confident :-) I "just" had to fix the cgi module, and some tests. For example, test_socket checks the exact type of sockets, whereas SOCK_CLOEXEC flag is present in sockobj.type for non-inheritable sockets created with this flag. I implemented the *new* PEP 446 (not written yet :-)) in a new repository: http://hg.python.org/features/pep-446 I had to invert the value of cloexec (inheritable value is just the opposite). The implementation works but it is not completed: * The doc should be reviewed * test_swap_fds() of test_subprocess fails * The implementation should be tested on Windows, FreeBSD and Solaris * I have to check if _Py_try_set_inheritable() can/must be replaced with _Py_set_inheritable() The implementation can be seen as a patch and reviewed using the following new issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue18571 Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
