I'm sure there are other ways, but I'd use WMI:

Get the WMI module from 

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html

Either copy the "Create and then destroy a new notepad process" 
 example from the cookbook page (note to self: put internal
 anchors on that page)

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi_cookbook.html

or, if you need to have created it with popen, do something
 like this:

c = wmi.WMI ()
for process in c.Win32_Process (Name='name of process'):
  process.Terminate ()

where 'name of process' obviously has to be replaced by
 the name of the process you're running.
