Allowed passing keyword arguments to subprocesses

Open davidbrochart opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

Changes

This PR makes it possible to pass keyword arguments to Popen, through run_process, open_process or to_process.run_sync. In the later case, a new subprocess is always created, since it wouldn't be possible to reuse a worker process created with different keyword arguments.

Checklist

If this is a user-facing code change, like a bugfix or a new feature, please ensure that you've fulfilled the following conditions (where applicable):

  • [x] You've added tests (in tests/) added which would fail without your patch
  • [x] You've updated the documentation (in docs/, in case of behavior changes or new features)
  • [x] You've added a new changelog entry (in docs/versionhistory.rst).

If this is a trivial change, like a typo fix or a code reformatting, then you can ignore these instructions.

Updating the changelog

If there are no entries after the last release, use **UNRELEASED** as the version. If, say, your patch fixes issue #123, the entry should look like this:

- Fix big bad boo-boo in task groups
  (`#123 <https://github.com/agronholm/anyio/issues/123>`_; PR by @yourgithubaccount)

If there's no issue linked, just link to your pull request instead by updating the changelog after you've created the PR.

I am wondering if we need something slightly different to also accommodate #605. Separate process pools with different options?

That would be nice indeed.
