Check out .../Lib/site-packages/win32/Demos/winprocess.py.
The latest cross-platform process-control gizmo in the Python world is
the subprocess module (in Python 2.4). I don't believe it has any
cross-platform support for killing processed though. You could try my
process.py module (http://trentm.com/projects/process) but you should
generally prefer 'subprocess' as it is more widely used. YMMV.
