I am using the subprocess module to capture the
input/output of a process on a Windows machine
with Python 2.5 and ran into a puzzling problem.
The following works well:
p = subprocess.Popen("cat", buffer=0, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subproc
I would appreciate help on two related questions:
1. Is it possible to cancel (kill) a "child" thread from the main thread in
Python running on Windows?
2. Also, is it possible to cancel (abort) a blocking read (say, to stdin) in a
function that can be called by a timer? The goal is to cancel
