[issue5115] Extend subprocess.kill to be able to kill process groups

[Giampaolo Rodola']

A strong +1 on adding this feature.

I was wondering... what if process A runs a subprocess B which runs a subprocess C. Is C still considered a children of A and gets killed as well?

Does os.setpgid() takes care of such a thing? What about Windows instead?
