Hmm... So there is no approved way to stop a TGApp server other than Ctrl+C? (on windows at least)
For my immediate purpose, it's ok to terminate externally (as kill does on *nix) or from within the app (raise the right exception or call exit?). Since win32 TerminateProcess doesn't allow the server to cleanup, that's apparently not an option. Raising KeyboardInterrupt from within the controller doesn't work. I'm trying to understand how Paster server works hoping I'll see a way out. I find the indirection a bit hair-raising as the code is quite flexible but unfamiliar to me. Wish me luck and if anyone has ideas to terminate (with proper cleanup) on Windows platform, please let me know.
