[python-win32] Entering commands at Python prompt...

[Mark Moales]

Hi,

I have a simple Python file that creates a process using CreateProcess
and kills it using GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent.  When I run this file, it
works great.  However, when I try to issue these commands at the Python
prompt, I always get:

pywintypes.error: (87, 'GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent', 'The parameter is
incorrect.')

Can someone explain to me why this is happening?  I'm really just
curious.

Thanks,

Mark

win32api.GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(
    win32con.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT,
    result[2])
