This was really just in response to your remark that you couldn't find a way to send Ctrl-C programmatically. I researched (in the C library sources) how SIGINT was *generated* (through SetConsoleCtrlHandler), and that let me to a way to generate I didn't mean to suggest that you *should* use GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent, only that you could if you wanted to. > I expect that > GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() can be called through the ctypes module, though > that would make backporting the test to 2.4 a bit more difficult. Well, if there was general utility to that API, I would prefer exposing it in the nt module. It doesn't quite fit into kill(2), as it doesn't allow to specify a pid of the target process, so perhaps it doesn't have general utility. In any case, that would have to wait for 2.6.
