Subprocess and Threads
----------------------
-Standard asyncio event loop supports running subprocesses from
-different threads, but there are limitations:
+Standard asyncio event loop supports running subprocesses from different threads by
+default.
-* An event loop must run in the main thread.
+On Windows subprocesses are provided by :class:`ProactorEventLoop` only (default),
+:class:`SelectorEventLoop` has no subprocess support.
-* The child watcher must be instantiated in the main thread
- before executing subprocesses from other threads. Call the
- :func:`get_child_watcher` function in the main thread to instantiate
- the child watcher.
+On UNIX *child watchers* are used for subprocess finish waiting, see
+:ref:`asyncio-watchers` for more info.
-Note that alternative event loop implementations might not share
-the above limitations; please refer to their documentation.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.8
+
+ UNIX switched to use :class:`ThreadedChildWatcher` for spawning subprocesses from
+ different threads without any limitation.
+
+ Spawning a subprocess with *inactive* current child watcher raises
+ :exc:`RuntimeError`.
+
+Note that alternative event loop implementations might have own limitations;
+please refer to their documentation.
