Not as far as I know. It might be a reasonable request in suitable dialects of Unix-like OSes, though. A setpgrp call (in the callback which you can request Popen to perform, after it forks and before it execs) might suffice... except that you can't rely on children process not to setpgrp's themselves, can you?!
