<pre><code>process = subprocess.Popen(command, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP)
process.send_signal(signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT)
</code></pre>
As a workaround I was able to send the signal using ctypes:<br />
<pre><code>ctypes.windll.kernel32.GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, process.pid)
</code></pre>
I created a simple example demonstrating the problem and attached it to the issue. Run the script with <code>use_signal</code> or <code>use_ctypes</code> arguments to test behavior. Below is what I got on Windows 7:<br />
<pre><code>E:\>python send_signal.py use_signal
Started
Received signal 21
E:\>python send_signal.py use_ctypes
Started
Received signal 21
E:\>ipy send_signal.py use_signal
Started
E:\>ipy send_signal.py use_ctypes
Started
Received signal 21</code></pre>
