python-3 incidentally fixed an issue involving semaphores and pid namespaces while reworking code, but that change didn't make it to python-2.7.  that means using the multiprocess module in python-2.7 in pid namespaces is dangerous.

Chromium OS has backported-ish a fix though and posted it upstream (see URL).  can we incorporate that into our 2.7 ahead of time ?  we were running into problems specifically while using portage, albeit probably more in parallel than most people ...

Sure. I'll be adding 2.7.10 to the tree this week, and I will try to include it then.
