"""killableprocess - Subprocesses which can be reliably killed This module is a subclass of the builtin "subprocess" module. It allows processes that launch subprocesses to be reliably killed on Windows (via the Popen.kill() method. It also adds a timeout argument to Wait() for a limited period of time before forcefully killing the process. Note: On Windows, this module requires Windows 2000 or higher (no support for Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0). It also requires ctypes, which is bundled with Python 2.5+ or available from http://python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/ """ import subprocess import sys import os import time import datetime import types import exceptions try: from subprocess import CalledProcessError except ImportError: # Python 2.4 doesn't implement CalledProcessError class CalledProcessError(Exception): """This exception is raised when a process run by check_call() returns a non-zero exit status.
