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. |
