New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <billiejoex at users.sourceforge.net>:
On Linux Ubuntu equipped with Python 2.6.1 I get this:
>>> os.kill(99999, 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 3] No such process
>>> print os.kill(-1, 0)
None
>>>
IMHO the latter case should raise "No such process" for consistency or,
at least ValueError, but surely not returning None.
