I've been searching for ways to terminate this process so I can exit my
program. program.exe is a text based interface which I'm running with
python subprocess in a DOS command window. I tried using 'sys.exit()'
to end my program, but nothing works. I think I have to somehow
terminate the subprocesses I create. Any suggestions?

Re: subprocess terminate help

Yeah I know. I posted it b/c I was having the same problems and I'm
investigating ways to do this. None of those methods gave me desired
results for my program. All I want to do is end my python program and
return to the DOS prompt.

what about the other program? do you want to terminate that as well ?

Re: subprocess terminate help

Ahhhh... I figured out a way around this. I'll use program.exe to shut
down itself. That way I won't have to use any extension modules.

Thanks!

Re: subprocess terminate help

program.exe ? I was looking at the Windows task manager after I used a
Cntrl + C to manually terminate the running python program. The
program.exe is apparently ending when I end the python program.

I have to admit that I have no idea what you're doing, really. The code
you used *explicitly* waits for the "program.ex e" program to finish. If
you don't want that, why are you telling the subprocess module to wait?
If you do want it to wait, why are you killing the python process ?
