Is there any possibility that
os.waitpid
could simply stop shifting the status value by a byte in Windows? With the introduction ofos.waitstatus_to_exitcode
, scripts no longer need to make assumptions about the status value format, and the Windows implementation ofwaitstatus_to_exitcode
could simply return the status value unchanged.There was a problem hiding this comment.

That would be a backward incompatible changes. If you look at changes that I made in https://bugs.python.org/issue40094 to use os.waitstatus_to_exitcode(), you can see that even in the Python stdlib, plently of code used directly "status >> 8" without even checking os.WIFEXITED().
I don't think that it's worth it to change how waitpid() encodes the exit code in the exit status. You should now use os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() to write portable code.
