Hmm, that's a good question. Just thinking about it, I don't think it
would. From the docs:

Popen.kill()
Kills the child. On Posix OSs the function sends SIGKILL to the child.
On Windows kill() is an alias for terminate().

But, I listed the check_call() function, which waits for the
subprocess to end. You never actually get the handle to the subprocess
object to issue the kill() command. So, I'm not sure how you could
make it work.
