[feature request] Support running colcon as a sub-process in a parallel build #28

Open kunaltyagi opened 2 years ago

kunaltyagi commented 2 years ago

Running colcon as top level process isn't always possible, and sometimes, colcon is run as part of a larger build (build server, pytest, etc.)

Is it possible for the parallel executor to conform to be a good jobserver interactive citizen? Example of existing implementation: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-jobserver/
