You could delete the Editor variable and hope that it cleans itself up.
Usually there is a special method to be called to close the application.

If you are using the win32com extensions, you can try to browse the COM library
(applying the COM makepy.py script on the type library helps for that).

Like with SPSS here there is a Quit() method in the main application object.

So Editor.Quit() with Quit replacing the Method your are looking for, should 
work.

Just my 0.02 Euro.
