OK, so I believe your script should be using KILL SESSION, I've just
tried this and the effects are immediate:

>>> from sqlalchemy import *
>>> e = create_engine("oracle://scott:tiger@oracle1120")
>>> conn = e.connect()
>>> conn.scalar("select 1 from dual")
1

then in the DB console as SYS:

SQL> alter system kill session '118,59061';

then:

>>> conn.scalar("select 1 from dual")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/classic/dev/sqlalchemy/lib/sqlalchemy/engine/base.py",
line 1193, in _execute_context
    context)
  File "/home/classic/dev/sqlalchemy/lib/sqlalchemy/engine/default.py",
line 509, in do_execute
    cursor.execute(statement, parameters)
cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: ORA-00028: your session has been killed

.. etc


the response was immediate and the client was told exactly what had happened.
