Comment (by lantti):

 If I'm reading correctly the Python version is the POSIX-only one. The
 Haskell version is used for all Windows runs. In order to not rely on my
 code reading skills I manually run timeout.py on Windows and Linux
 (python3 timeout3 10 "sleep 2"), results: Windows says "module 'os' has no
 attribute 'fork'", Linux just works.

 The Windows version definitely still relies on the Haskell implementation.
