In python, is there a way to invoke a new process in, hand it the same context, such as standard IO streams, close the current process, and give control to the invoked process? This would effectively 'replace' the process.
I have a program whose behavior I want to repeat. However, it uses a third-party library, and it seems that the only way that I can truly kill threads invoked by that library is to exit() my python process.
Plus, it seems like it could help manage memory.
