This API has been available on macOS for a long time, but was explicitly excluded due to unspecified problems with the API in ancient versions of macOS.

The issue mentioned that waiting for zombies with waitid failed in past versions on macOS. I cannot reproduce this on current versions of the OS. |

Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Expose
os.waitidon macOS as well.As mentioned in #55021 the
waitid(2)function is exposed inposixmodule.c, but that code explicitly hides the function on macOS without a clear reason. And in any case, the reason to exclude the function was made for an OS version that we no longer support (10.8 or earlier).It is better to just expose the function and document issues when they come up (and file issues with Apple as needed).
Filing this a "feature" because this is IMHO not something we can back port to stable releases.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
