Multiprocessing: killing children when parent dies

[Mihai Badoiu]

ok, so the code is something like
#process A
  p = Process(...)
  p.daemon = 1
  p.start()   # starts process B
...

If process A dies (say error, or ctrl-c), or finishes, then process B also
dies.  But if process A is killed with the "kill" command, then process B
soldiers on...

Any idea on how to make process B die when process A gets killed by the
"kill" command?

thanks,
