/usr/bin/python -u -c import sys;exec(eval(sys.stdin.readline()))

[gy95]

when i use python -m pyetst to run testcases, it always generates many progresses, when i run ps -elf cmd, it shows many progresses
/usr/bin/python -u -c import sys;exec(eval(sys.stdin.readline())) are running
And these progresses consume a lot of memory resources
, how to solve this problem

[gy95]

How are these processes usr/bin/python -u -c import sys;exec(eval(sys.stdin.readline())) generated?

More context needed

this reads like xdist was installed and -n auto is being used on a system with very many cores

Please elaborate on active plug-ins and the configuration

i run pytest with --dist load -n 1, but it generates five usr/bin/python -u -c import sys;exec(eval(sys.stdin.readline())) progresses

pytest-xdist Version: 3.6.1
pytest Version: 8.3.3

more context needed then the arguments imply one should start, as 5 start something is wrong

when i run ps -elf cmd, it displays like below this
