[issue9205] Parent process hanging in multiprocessing if children terminate unexpectedly

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

The problem with this approach is that it won't help concurrent.futures.
Detection of killed endpoints should ideally happen at a lower level, e.g. in Process or Queue or Connection objects.

Speaking of which, I wonder why we have both multiprocessing.Pool and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor. They seem to fill the exact same needs, with different APIs...
