@ -280,24 +280,3 @@ How do I check for a keypress without blocking?
Use the msvcrt module. This is a standard Windows-specific extension module.
It defines a function ``kbhit()`` which checks whether a keyboard hit is
present, and ``getch()`` which gets one character without echoing it.
How do I emulate os.kill() in Windows?
--------------------------------------
Prior to Python 2.7 and 3.2, to terminate a process, you can use :mod:`ctypes`:
.. code-block:: python
import ctypes
def kill(pid):
"""kill function for Win32"""
kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
handle = kernel32.OpenProcess(1, 0, pid)
return (0 != kernel32.TerminateProcess(handle, 0))
In 2.7 and 3.2, :func:`os.kill` is implemented similar to the above function,
with the additional feature of being able to send :kbd:`Ctrl+C` and :kbd:`Ctrl+Break`
to console subprocesses which are designed to handle those signals. See
:func:`os.kill` for further details.
