Mmm... I think I might know why. The reloader starts in paste.script.serve:396, with subprocess.Popen(args, env=new_environ) -- it is trying to run a subprocess exactly like the original process, except with an environmental variable to signal to the subprocess that it shouldn't start the reloader. Then when there's a reload the subprocess dies and the parent process starts it up again. On unixy systems this starts up the subprocess directly. Then if the parent process gets a signal, it passes it on to the subprocess. This way kills work properly (before the signal got passed this zombie process problem happened on lot on unix systems too). But the Windows subprocess module doesn't start a process directly, it uses a shell to start the subprocess. So when a signal is sent to the (apparent) subprocess, it's going to the shell, and the shell doesn't pass it on to the real Paste process. Oh, that and there aren't really signals in Windows anyway. So... it doesn't work in a lot of ways. Not running on Windows I don't really have a suggestion on how to fix this, but patches welcome ;) The relevant code is pretty much all in that restart_with_monitor method in paste.script.serve.
