Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple front end for a commandline application (some of the people I'm working with get the shakes if they have to use the commandline) in Windows. I was using os.system() to execute a command, and that works fine, but the only way I know to stop the external program is to hit CTRL-C. On *nix, as I understand it, you could create a Popen3 class instance, which would have the pid as a property of the class, which can be used to call a kill on that pid to stop the program. But, indications are that this is not available for Windows, so I'm wondering if there is a better option than os.system() or if there is just something I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using Python 2.3 on Win 2k.
