I'm in favour of closing this issue. If anything needs to be done its adding a warning to the documentation of os.fork() to the effect that doing substantial work in the child can be problematic on macOS. Maybe something like: .. warning:: On macOS the child proces might crash if the parent proces uses higher level system APIs before calling this function. This includes, but is not limited to, using :mod:`urllib.request` in the parent process.
