[New-bugs-announce] [issue22309] distutils/spawn.py handle fork() not implemented.

[John Malmberg]

New submission from John Malmberg:

Distutils currently can not handle a Posix platform that does not implement fork().

This patch retries with the _spawn_nt to use the spawn() methods if fork() is not implemented.

A platform that does not implement fork() can provide spawn*() methods for python to use.
