How to kill subprocess python in windows
python
Solution
On windows, `os.killpg` will not work because it sends a signal to the process ID to terminate. This is now how you kill a process on Windows, instead you have to use the win32 API's `TerminateProcess` to kill a process.
So, you can kill a process by the following on windows:
import signal
os.kill(self.p.pid, signal.CTRL_C_EVENT)
If the above does not work, then try `signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT` instead.
Problem
How would I go about killing a process on Windows? I am starting the process with ``` self.p = Process(target=self.GameInitialize, args=(testProcess,)) self.p.start() ``` I have tried ``` self.p.kill() self.p.terminate() os.kill(self.p.pid, -1) os.killpg(self.p.pid, signal.SIGTERM) # Send the signal to all the process groups ``` Errors ``` Process Object has no Attribute kill Process Object has no Attribute terminate Access Denied ``` I cannot use `.join.`
