[issue1156] Suggested change to _exit function description in os module documentation

2007-09-12 Thread Johann Tonsing 

New submission from Johann Tonsing:

The document from which http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html was 
generated contains:

"Note: The standard way to exit is sys.exit(n). _exit() should normally 
only be used in the child process after a fork()."

Should "child" be replaced with "parent"?

This also applies to: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html

Did not check the 3.0 docs (where can they be found?).

[issue1156] Suggested change to _exit function description in os module documentation

2007-09-14 Thread Johann Tonsing 

Johann Tonsing added the comment:

Thanks for explaining.

(FWIW I reported this because several examples / recipes I saw elsewhere 
on the net used os._exit() in the parent.  Perhaps they did this because 
they don't want to disrupt resources like file descriptors which the 
child has inherited or something.)
