[3.8] bpo-38707: Fix for multiprocessing.Process MainThread.native_id (GH-17088) by miss-islington · Pull Request #17261 · python/cpython
…onGH-17088) This PR implements a fix for `multiprocessing.Process` objects; the error occurs when Processes are created using either `fork` or `forkserver` as the `start_method`. In these instances, the `MainThread` of the newly created `Process` object retains all attributes from its parent's `MainThread` object, including the `native_id` attribute. The resulting behavior is such that the new process' `MainThread` captures an incorrect/outdated `native_id` (the parent's instead of its own). This change forces the Process object to update its `native_id` attribute during the bootstrap process. cc @vstinner https://bugs.python.org/issue38707 Automerge-Triggered-By: @pitrou (cherry picked from commit c6b20be) Co-authored-by: Jake Tesler <jake.tesler@gmail.com>
