|

======================
|
||||
|
||||
asyncio supports running subprocesses from different threads, but there
|
||||
are limits:
|
||||
|
||||
* An event loop must run in the main thread
|
||||
* The child watcher must be instantiated in the main thread, before executing
|
||||
subprocesses from other threads. Call the :func:`get_child_watcher`
|
||||
function in the main thread to instantiate the child watcher.
