Ah, brilliant, I've got Popen3 working, and I can get the pid. But for some
reason I can't kill the process! I've tried doing "kill(pid,
signal.SIGKILL)" and "kill(pid, 0)", but neither work. I've tried closing
the pipe first with "child.fromchild.close()", and then killing, and that
doesn't work either. Kill just fails to kill the process.

Is there any reason/solution for this?
