[issue22087] _UnixDefaultEventLoopPolicy should either create a new loop or explicilty fail when get_event_loop() is called from a multiprocessing child process

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Good point.  Asyncio definitely should not share event loops across forked processes.  However, I don't like the dependency on multiprocessing (even though it's in the stdlib) -- can't the policy just use os.getpid()?

Also, I've got a feeling that maybe the pid should be part of the policy state instead of the loop state?  The policy could just reset self._local when the pid doesn't match.
