Measuring coverage in subprocesses is a little tricky. When you spawn a
subprocess, you are invoking Python to run your program. Usually, to get
-coverage measurement, you have to use coverage.py to run your program.

To arrange all this, you have to do two things: set a value for the
``COVERAGE_PROCESS_START`` environment variable, and then configure Python to
invoke :func:`coverage.process_startup` when Python processes start.
How you set ``COVERAGE_PROCESS_START`` depends on the details of how you create
