how to send a SIGINT to a Python process?

Is there a way to send a SIGINT/KeyboardInterru pt to a
Python process (knowing the pid) that works both on Unix and Windows?

AFAIK there isn't. You could browse through this
http://starship.python.net/crew/tmick/ to get an idea on how to kill on
both platforms.

No. Windows doesn't support the sending of signals between processes
(with the exception of an equivalent of SIGKILL). I guess this explains
why server processes running on Windows need to be shutdown and
restarted (at least) if you change their configuration -- there's no
(convenient or standardised) way of doing the equivalent of SIGHUP.

As far as I know python's threading module models after Java's. However, I can't find something equivalent to Java's interrupt and isInterrupted methods, along with InterruptedException. "somethread.interrupt()" will wake somethread up when it's in sleeping/waiting state. Is there any way of doing this with python's thread? I suppose thread interrupt is a very primitive functionality for stopping a blocked thread.

I got this to work, but was hoping there was a better way. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to use globals. I wouldn't doubt that I could be totally off in what I am doing. Here is some psuedo-code of what I did: def main_thread(): # Don't know how to get rid of these guys global lock global my_thread

Hello, I catch SIGINT signals with a handler. In the handler, I use fd's to write some data to a child process. Is this valid? Because the data never arrives, and I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Can filedescriptors still be used when you're in the signal handling of SIGINT?

Hello, Could someone please explain why the Socket.Send is slow to send to the same process it sending from. Eg. Process1 calls Socket.Send which sends to the same IP address and port, the receiver is running within Process1. If I move the receiver into Process2 then its fast. Please can someone explain.
