subprocess.Popen now copies the startupinfo argument to leave it
unchanged: it will modify the copy, so that the same STARTUPINFO
object can be used multiple times.
Add subprocess.STARTUPINFO.copy() method.
Do not allow receiving a SIGINT to cause the subprocess module to trigger an
immediate SIGKILL of the child process. SIGINT is normally sent to all child
processes by the OS at the same time already as was the established normal
behavior in 2.7 and 3.2. This behavior change was introduced during the fix to https://bugs.python.org/issue12494 and is generally surprising to command line
tool users who expect other tools launched in child processes to get their own
SIGINT and do their own cleanup.
In Python 3.3-3.6 subprocess.call and subprocess.run would immediately
SIGKILL the child process upon receiving a SIGINT (which raises a
KeyboardInterrupt). We now give the child a small amount of time to
exit gracefully before resorting to a SIGKILL.
This is also the case for subprocess.Popen.__exit__ which would
previously block indefinitely waiting for the child to die. This was
hidden from many users by virtue of subprocess.call and subprocess.run
sending the signal immediately.
Behavior change: subprocess.Popen.__exit__ will not block indefinitely
when the exiting exception is a KeyboardInterrupt. This is done for
user friendliness as people expect their ^C to actually happen. This
could cause occasional orphaned Popen objects when not using `call` or
`run` with a child process that hasn't exited.
Refactoring involved: The Popen.wait method deals with the
KeyboardInterrupt second chance, existing platform specific internals
have been renamed to _wait().
Also fixes comment typos.
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there
is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process
with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles.
By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix
this race.
In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit
list of handles to inherit when creating a process.
This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]`
which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
directly.
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
Rather than supporting dev mode directly in the warnings module, this
instead adjusts the initialisation code to add an extra 'default'
entry to sys.warnoptions when dev mode is enabled.
This ensures that dev mode behaves *exactly* as if `-Wdefault` had
been passed on the command line, including in the way it interacts
with `sys.warnoptions`, and with other command line flags like `-bb`.
Fix also bpo-20361: have -b & -bb options take precedence over any
other warnings options.
Patch written by Nick Coghlan, with minor modifications of Victor Stinner.
The developer mode (-X dev) now creates all default warnings filters
to order filters in the correct order to always show ResourceWarning
and make BytesWarning depend on the -b option.
Write a functional test to make sure that ResourceWarning is logged
twice at the same location in the developer mode.
Add a new 'dev_mode' field to _PyCoreConfig.
Modify subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X dev
option.
Add also unit tests for test.support.args_from_interpreter_flags()
and test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags().
Improve human friendliness of the Popen API: Add text=False as a
keyword-only argument to subprocess.Popen along with a Popen
attribute .text_mode and set this based on the
encoding/errors/universal_newlines/text arguments.
The universal_newlines parameter and attribute are maintained for
backwards compatibility.
* bpo-30121: Fix debug assert in subprocess on Windows
This is caused by closing HANDLEs using os.close which is for CRT file
descriptors and not for HANDLEs.
* bpo-30121: Suppress debug assertion in test_subprocess when ran directly
The Windows-specific subprocess.STARTUPINFO class now accepts
keyword-only arguments to its constructor to set the various
data attributes.

Issue #26100:
* Add subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Add test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Use new functions in distutils, test_cmd_line_script, test_compileall and
test_inspect
The change enables test_details() test of test_inspect when -O or -OO command
line option is used.

* assert_python_ok docstring typo fix.
* Fix test_cmd_line not to fail if PYTHONHASHSEED is set to a fixed seed.
