[New-bugs-announce] [issue16650] Popen._internal_poll() references errno.ECHILD outside of the local scope

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

As noted in Popen._internal_poll() docstring this method cannot reference anything outside of the local scope. However it references errno.ECHILD. The proposed patch fixes this.

Is it good that Popen._handle_exitstatus() references building SubprocessError?
