I think this reads better as children. Although pliant isn't a very common word, and I'm not sure how it's being used here.

Oh, maybe I should have waited longer before merging this one :-( I'm wasn't 100% sure between "childs" and "children". Sorry, english is not my first language. I created PR #9102 to replace childs with children.
I'm not sure what do you propose for pliant. In case of doubt, I leave it unchanged.

I Googled a bit and it seems "pliant slave" is an old-fashioned way to refer to slaves, and even more demeaning than just "slave" -- I presume it was meant ironically by the original author. We should really replace the entire construct "pliant slaves" with a more neutral term. I don't think "children" is the right term -- I propose "helpers".

@gvanrossum it's in the same vein as compliant.

There is no point in continuing the debate. We’ve all had our say. If you
want to keep talking, go to Twitter.

with some bad meaning be avoided? Stones can be related to weapon, sea can
drown people, shall these words be banned? The names of famous campus
killers, shall they be avoided to be used as names of new born babies,
because these names are used by killers'?
I'm afraid this seems like the "literary inquisition" that happened
numerous times in history. In those cases, word were interpreted in certain
ways deliberately, totally ignoring their context, and the related persons
were judged criminal just because they said those words.

Actually both wordings are wrong. This class doesn't represent a pattern object in any sense. I'll open a separate issue for this.

Interesting, "buildslave" was a term used in the Buildbot documentation: http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.5/manual/cfg-buildslaves.html. In recent versions it was replaced with "worker": http://docs.buildbot.net/1.4.0/manual/cfg-workers.html.
In distutils.command.install, replace "pliant children" (previously, it was "pliant slaves") with "helpers". <!-- issue-number: [bpo-34605](https://www.bugs.python.org/issue34605) --> https://bugs.python.org/issue34605 <!-- /issue-number -->
