[New-bugs-announce] [issue27151] multiprocessing.Process leaves read pipes open (Process.sentinel)

[Roman Bolshakov]

New submission from Roman Bolshakov:

There's no code that closes read pipe(Process.sentinel) when a Process is joined. That creates issues in long running programs as the pipe's file descriptors are effectively leaked.
