John Ehresman added the comment: I think at a minimum, a return should be added in the cases that call GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent and it fails.
Here's a more radical proposal, though: deprecate kill() on Windows and add a function that calls GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent and another that calls TerminateProcess. The rationale is that the two do act quite a bit differently than kill does on non-Windows systems do and it's a bad idea to try to provide cross-platform functionality when it can't be done. kill() on non-Windows systems would be left alone. ---------- nosy: +jpe _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
