Some operating systems, for example VxWorks RTOS, don't support fork(). Some test cases that depend on os.fork() will fail. test_ssl.BasicSocketTests.test_random_fork and test_uuid.TestUUIDWithExtModule.testIssue8621 fail are this case. |

Are this and similar issues theoretical ("if Python were implemented on such systems...") or actual ("python is implemented on one such system (VxWorks?) and these tests fail"). If the latter, does the test suite pass at least with respect to, in this case, os.fork? I expect that there are other tests that depend on os.fork, but maybe they are already guarded.

Similar issues: #41440 os.cpu_count #41442 unix shell #41443 some posix.x functions PR 21684 is fine as far as it goes, and I could merge and backport, but I don't know about our test policy with respect to need and minimized OSes. We do not put conditions for unsupported oses in production code, but I don't know about skips for such systems in tests. Victor, do you know, or know who would? |

Terry, VxWorks has not been officially supported by community. Certainly no builtbot for VxWorks connected yet. I am porting cpython onto VxWorks RTOS now. Several issues you listed are the part of my porting effort. So I think we don't need to backport the fix to previous versions. |
