Checking self.std* is still not enough. Those fields are for the parent's ends of pipes, but if a caller redirects to a descriptor, there is no such end. For example, subprocess.call(['/bin/sleep', '1000'], stdout=fd, close_fds=False, restore_signals=False) doesn't work properly.

@izbyshev: Oh right! I fixed the test: test (p2cread, p2cwrite, c2pread, c2pwrite, errread, errwrite) instead of (self.stdin, self.stdout, self.stderr). Is it better now?

Yes, LGTM now.

There is another potential problem with posix_spawn: asynchronous error notification. _posixsubprocess uses a pipe to notify the parent about all errors up to and including execve errors, so its style is synchronous. Glibc and musl use the pipe-based notification too, but they are not required to do that, and I don't know what other implementations do.
return

orig_executable = executable

# For transferring possible exec failure from child to parent.
