[New-bugs-announce] [issue16734] Delay interpreter startup phase until script is read

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

Currently, when interpreter is launched it returns immediately to parent process without waiting to read the entrypoint script. This causes problem when you need to remove this script after executing.

Is it possible to delay return to child process until the entrypoint script is read?

See test case in attach.
