No problem, Justin, it’s not terribly obvious that it’s using pywin32 as it isn’t showing up in the imports; it looks like it’s got quite a few different names, all prefixed win32.
A ctypes approach seems reasonable. Haven’t considered it beyond a few non-working examples, but I bet it must be able to deal with Job objects too. Other than that, there is one detail about my requirements which might enable another method or achieving what I want; which is that the child is just another Python interpreter under my control. So what I could do is pass the pid of the parent to the child and have it *poll* every n-seconds for whether the parent is still running. If not, clean-up and self-destruct. Though polling a process for activity seems a challenge on it’s own.. (on Windows, that is.
