[issue1652] subprocess should have an option to restore SIGPIPE to default action

[Colin Watson]

Colin Watson added the comment:

To be quite honest I can't think of any incompatibilities that wouldn't
have the basic result of improving matters. I put the migration stuff in
my bug report in case somebody else could, because I don't want the bug
fix to stall on that.

My preference would be for Python to move to behaviour equivalent to
restore_sigpipe=True in the next release, but I would rather that it
gained restore_sigpipe with the wrong default than that it didn't gain
it at all.
