This is what killpython.exe is supposed to solve. So I recommend to investigate why it fails to kill the hanging Pythons.

Yeah, I know, and I can't say I disagree in principle - not sure why Windows doesn't let the kill in that module work (or if there's an issue actually running it under all conditions).

At the moment though, I do know that using the sysinternals pskill utility externally (which is what I currently do interactively) definitely works so to be honest, automating that is a guaranteed bang for buck at this point with no analysis involved. Looking into kill_python or its use can be a follow-on.
