There was a problem hiding this comment.
(Will probably not be very useful reviewing much of this, but it'd be a bit nicer UX-wise if rather than saying "A or B" here you used .format and inserted in options.concurrency, i.e. the actual one of the two of those that the user really did use, instead of including ones they didn't)

--concurrency=twistedwhich causes coverage to be tracked across child processes created with Twisted'sreactor.spawnProcess.I'm not entirely happy with the sitecustomize management code. Also it seems like this could probably easily be a
--concurrency=execfeature instead, with a the sitecustomize being written and PYTHONPATH updated early. Then all processes forked & exec'd will get the logic. It's less clear when to do cleanup but it's probably still possible.Also this approach comes with the downside that it obscures any existing sitecustomize. I don't really know what people use sitecustomize for so I'm not sure how big of a deal this is.
Any other solution for fork&exec seems like a challenge because there is no general way to inject some code into a process you've just exec'd. exec is inherently about giving up control of what's running to some other program. There might be some platform-specific tricks but that doesn't seem like an appealing avenue.
While working on this, https://pypi.org/project/coverage_enable_subprocess/ was also pointed out to me and it seems to accomplish roughly the same thing. It uses the pth file approach instead but this means it requires a virtualenv (or for you to splat junk into your probably-OS-managed Python install which is not a great idea). It also collects coverage from all Python programs instead of all programs in a tree under the one you start but I don't know if that's much of a practical difference.
