Oops, that's an easy fix for the windows failure. I should be able to just use asyncio.MultiLoopWatcher instead of asyncio.unix_events.MultiLoopWatcher.

Oh, I hadn't realized that get_child_watcher() wasn't supported on Windows. I'll add a platform check.

@vstinner Would you mind giving this a quick look-over before I merge it? This PR is fairly straightforward since it's just skipping a test, but I'm not quite comfortable yet with merging my own without an approval (particularly with the earlier CI failures).

Actually, are you sure that test_close_kill_running() is the one that needs to be skipped? @asvetlov added code to address the hang in that test here: #18457

If you look at this comment of @vstinner, it seems like he might be referring to tests other than test_close_kill_running(): https://bugs.python.org/issue38323#msg368061
(like the one you mentioned test_stdin_stdout()).

Either way, it would be important to know if this test was still hanging even with Andrew's change, as that would be a new failure variant.

@cjerdonek Based on the following comment:

we may want to consider skipping test_close_kill_running for MultiLoopWatcher until we can find one

There are more MultiLoopWatcher tests which hang randomly, it's not only test_close_kill_running().

I'm fine with skipping tests until someone can come up with a fix.

I'm fairly certain that test_close_kill_running() was still hanging randomly, even after Andrew's fix. I was unable to reproduce the failure locally though, so I wasn't able to confirm it myself. I made this PR based on @vstinner's above comment, but if/when I find the time, I'll try to look through to buildbot logs to confirm if there were still hangs for test_close_kill_running() after Andrew merged #18457.

I'll try to look through to buildbot logs to confirm if there were still hangs for test_close_kill_running()

That would be great. (In all the times I've reproduced the hang locally, Andrew's change would have prevented it.)

Closing as the entire SubprocessMultiLoopWatcherTests tests are currently skipped.
