how to send a SIGINT to a Python process?

[Michele Simionato]

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.
