[docs] Bug in documentation of module subprocess, method send_signal

[Dieterle, Daniel]

Hi,

in the documentation
(http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen.send_si
gnal) is a bug.

CTRL_C_EVENT can not be sent to processes started with a creationflags
parameter which includes CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP. Why can be read in
the msdn documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683155%28v=vs.
85%29.aspx .

A workaround using CTRL_C_EVENT nevertheless is described here:

s-objects-on-windows/7980368#7980368
	
Bye,
Daniel.
