import collections
class str2(str):

`taskkill /F` sets exit code to 1, indeed. (Confirmed by experiment. Cannot

I've been working with various approaches for running and terminating
subprocesses on Windows and I've obtained surprisingly different results if I
used different modules and ways of termination. Here is the script I wrote, it
