As long as the possibility of copying APIs from win32all is being entertained, would it be feasible to make os.kill do something meaningful on Windows?
I'm no expert on Windows APIs, but it may be as simple as calling win32api.GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent or win32api.TerminateProcess. (Although I seem to remember reading that killing processes externally on Windows is something of a thorny issue. It may corrupt the state of DLLs, or something along those lines.)
Clearly, until someone shows up with more expertise, nothing will happen. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
