On POSIX platform you can use signals and ``os.kill`` function.
Fo example:
<code>
import os, signal
from subprocess import Popen
from time import sleep
def handler(signum, frame):
print 'Signal handler called'
raise KeyboardInterrupt
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handler)
try:
popen = Popen(["ping", "google.com"])
try:
sleep(100)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
finally:
if popen.poll() is None:
print "killing process: %d" % popen.pid
os.kill(popen.pid, signal.SIGTERM)
</code>
