well and cleans up properly in the event of

This function is useful for a long-running parallel worker

<p>While the <code class="code docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">subprocess</span></code> is running, it may call the supplied <code class="code docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">callback</span></code> function.
The <code class="code docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">callback</span></code> function will run in the main event loop of the calling process.</p>
<p>The <code class="code docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">subprocess</span></code> will be started with the
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#contexts-and-start-methods">“spawn” start method</a>,

we cannot pass a local function as the <code class="code docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">subprocess</span></code>. The best
