[New-bugs-announce] [issue8956] Incorrect ValueError message for subprocess.Popen.send_signal() on Windows

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rodola at gmail.com>:

def send_signal(self, sig):
            """Send a signal to the process
            """
            if sig == signal.SIGTERM:
                self.terminate()
            elif sig == signal.CTRL_C_EVENT:
                os.kill(self.pid, signal.CTRL_C_EVENT)
            elif sig == signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT:
                os.kill(self.pid, signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT)
            else:
                raise ValueError("Only SIGTERM is supported on Windows")


Just noticed right now while I was reading subprocess source code.
I guess that should be "Only SIGTERM, CTRL_C_EVENT or CTRL_BREAK_EVENT are supported on Windows".
