Running and killing a process in python

[Astan Chee]

Hi,
I'm trying to make a python script (in windows 7 x64 using python 2.5) to
start a process, and kill it after x minutes/seconds and kill all the
descendants of it.
Whats the best way of doing this in python? which module is best suited to
do this? subprocess?
thanks for any help
