New submission from John Ehresman: os.kill() on Windows cannot act like it does on non-windows platforms because of differences in the underlying platforms. I think only kill() with a signal number of 9 (terminate process unconditionally) and a signal number of 0 (test to see if process exists) could be implemented. It isn't possibly to send the INT signal or a HUP signal to another process -- or at least it isn't possible without the use of questionable api's and code.
Windows specific functions would be added for terminateprocess() and generateconsolectrlevent(). os.kill() on non-windows platforms would be left alone. ---------- components: Windows messages: 240905 nosy: jpe, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Deprecate os.kill() on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23948> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
