STINNER Victor added the comment: I understand that os.kill(pid, sig) should call TerminateProcess() or GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() depending on the value of sig.
The problem is that these two functions are very different. A process can set a control handler for CTRL_C_EVENT and CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, so can decide how to handle GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() event. TerminateProcess() kills the process with the specified exit code. To me it looks wrong to call TerminateProcess() with a signal number or event for the exit code!? We need to expose TerminateProcess() as a new Python function, os.TerminateProcess(pid, exitcode) for example. os.kill(pid, sig) should raise a ValueError if sig is not CTRL_C_EVENT nor CTRL_BREAK_EVENT. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
