You're using index incorrectly, but only because it relies on ==
returning True, which it won't.
You can use math.isnan:

for the test instead. Nan requires

The child return code, set by poll() and wait() (and indirectly by
communicate()). A None value indicates that the process hasn’t terminated
yet.
A negative value -N indicates that the child was terminated by signal N
(Unix only).
So there you go. SIGKILL and SIGTERM, definitely.
R
to use their own.
I can think of a few potential downsides, but on the whole this is going
to do exactly what I want in this case.
Would experienced users please mock me?

I'd call it "packet", and was_sent just "sent".

want to consider a Unix socket too.
A UNIX socket or even a named pipe has the benefit of:
- not being available remotely
- access control with normal UNIX permissions
and of course efficiency as you say.
Generalising to a TCP socket later shouldn't be too hard if the need
arises.

Ok, that really does look like "choice" is a string. I'm really very
surprised.
What does this do?

print("type(choices) =", type(choices))
