Description

Bug report

Bug description:

-X lazy_imports, -X thread_inherit_context, and -X context_aware_warnings are not inherited via subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() so multiprocessing spawned child processes do not inherit these -X settings unless the user happens to be using the dangerous non-default "fork" start method.

We should consider this for every -X option added. In general the answer should be "yes". There's a list in Lib/subprocess.py to update. (could we automate this by making the list an opt-out instead of a remember-when-adding-a-feature-to-opt-in list?)
