Prevent `multiprocessing.spawn` from failing to *import* in environments
where `sys.executable` is `None`. This regressed in 3.11 with the addition
of support for path-like objects in multiprocessing.
Adds a test decorator to have tests only run when part of test_multiprocessing_spawn to `_test_multiprocessing.py` so we can start to avoid re-running the same not-global-state specific test in all 3 modes when there is no need.
The multiprocessing.resource_tracker replaces the multiprocessing.semaphore_tracker module. Other than semaphores, resource_tracker also tracks shared_memory segments. Patch by Pierre Glaser.
Fix a race condition in Popen of
multiprocessing.popen_spawn_win32. The child process now duplicates
the read end of pipe instead of "stealing" it.
Previously, the read end of pipe was "stolen" by the child process,
but it leaked a handle if the child process had been terminated
before it could steal the handle from the parent process.
* Make error message more informative
Replace assertions in error-reporting code with more-informative version that doesn't cause confusion over where and what the error is.
* Additional clarification + get travis to check
* Change from SystemError to TypeError
As suggested in PR comment by @pitrou, changing from SystemError; TypeError appears appropriate.
* NEWS file installation; ACKS addition (will do my best to justify it by additional work)
* Making current AssertionErrors in multiprocessing more informative
* Blurb added re multiprocessing managers.py, queues.py cleanup
* Further multiprocessing cleanup - went through pool.py
* Fix two asserts in multiprocessing/util.py
* Most asserts in multiprocessing more informative
* Didn't save right version
* Further work on multiprocessing error messages
* Correct typo
* Correct typo v2
* Blasted colon... serves me right for trying to work on two things at once
* Simplify NEWS entry
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
OK, never mind.
* Corrected (thanks to pitrou) error messages for notify
* Remove extraneous backslash in docstring.
