More detailed warning towards Python2 users #75

Closed wooparadog closed 6 years ago

wooparadog commented 6 years ago

Hi, @agronholm

There's a warning in README stating that:

The ProcessPoolExecutor class has known (unfixable) problems on Python 2 and should not be relied on for mission critical work.

IMO, there should be a more detailed warning towards users what they are getting into if there's no alternative. After some digging, I discovered #29 and https://bugs.python.org/issue9205. Are those the risks?

agronholm commented 6 years ago

Yes, you are correct. This is the unfixable problem I was referring to.

Thanks.
