AFAIK you need to send the process a signal.  Using the signal module
and os.kill the code you need might look not entirely unlike this:

import signal, os

def sig_handler(signum, frame):
    global child_pid
    os.kill(signal.SIGINT, child_pid)

# open child process and store pid in global variable child_pid

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, sig_handler)
while 1:
    pass
    # whatever
