[New-bugs-announce] [issue21384] Windows: Make handle non inheritable by default

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The PEP 446 was implemented in Python 3.4. All file descriptors are now created non inheritable. The implementation was not finished on Windows, handles may be created inheritable. The Python code should be audoted for that.

For example, hCryptProv in Python/random.c is inheritable or not?
