A linux-specific solution could be implemented in terms of cgroups <http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cgroups.txt>. I can’t see any way to automatically ensure all descendants are killed, but the parent can at least scan the cgroup when the immediate child exits, and kill every leftover process it finds. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
