I like the idea and I'm proposing to add two more methods to subprocess Popen. class Popen(...): ... def signal(self, signal): """Send a signal to the process (UNIX only) signal is constant from the signal module """ def terminate(self, force=False): """Terminate the process On UNIX terminate(False) is equivalent to signal(SIGTERM) and terminate(True) to signal(SIGKILL). On Windows ... (does Windows support a forced terminate?) """

Another difference I believe is that TerminateProcess on Windows doesn't kill the tree of processes like kill would. It would be nice if Popen.terminate() did the same thing on both Unix and Windows. (I assume that would mean making all the appropriate TerminateProcess calls.)
