PEP 541 Request: pcntl #4929

Open Lewiscowles1986 opened 2 weeks ago

Project to be claimed

pcntl: (standard library)

Your PyPI username

LewisCowles1986: https://pypi.org/user/LewisCowles1986/

Reasons for the request

pcntl throws a module not found error for Windows users (or anyone not on Linux or Mac) Those users think it's pythons fault. (I know it's not)

I've got a pcntl package which on windows gives a more useful error. Eventually I'd like to upstream it, but first I have to publish it. On OSX it doesn't break anything as it uses sys_meta hooks.

Maintenance or replacement?

I've looked and found that fcntl is deliberately not part of python for windows. I think this is a mistaken approach, as it makes the error message less clear.

Code of Conduct

Python ask which would make this irrelevant for (future) python version https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/125568

As we can see the Python core route is likely to be slow
