Note, for the record, however, Jimmy Retzlaff's excellent recipe
for Win32 process termination, which can work with ctypes or
pywin32, and with either the PID such as popen returns and
subprocess.Popen stores, or the "handle" that spawn returns
(and which subprocess.Popen stores in its _handle attribute):
