[New-bugs-announce] [issue31540] Adding context in concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor

[Thomas Moreau]

New submission from Thomas Moreau:

The `ProcessPoolExecutor` processes start method can only be change by changing the global default context with `set_start_method` at the beginning of a script. We propose to allow passing a context argument in the constructor to allow more flexible control of the executor.

Adding this would allow testing `ProcessPoolExecutor` with all the available context
