How do I emulate os.kill() in Windows?
--------------------------------------
Use win32api::
To terminate a process, you can use ctypes::
import ctypes
def kill(pid):
"""kill function for Win32"""
import win32api
handle = win32api.OpenProcess(1, 0, pid)
return (0 != win32api.TerminateProcess(handle, 0))
kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
handle = kernel32.OpenProcess(1, 0, pid)
return (0 != kernel32.TerminateProcess(handle, 0))
Why does os.path.isdir() fail on NT shared directories?
