[issue35238] Alleviate memory reservation of fork_exec in subprocess.Popen via forkserver

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

At any rate, given the constraints you're working with (thousands of child processes, memory conservation issues), I suggest you abandon the idea of using multiprocessing and write your own subprocess-server instead.

I would suggest doing so using asyncio, which should allow you to control as many subprocesses as you want without spawning countless threads or intermediate processes:
