How do I emulate os.kill() in Windows?
1138
Prior to Python 2.7 and 3.2, to terminate a process, you can use :mod:`ctypes`::
1139
import ctypes def kill(pid): """kill function for Win32""" kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32 handle = kernel32.OpenProcess(1, 0, pid) return (0 != kernel32.TerminateProcess(handle, 0))
1140
In 2.7 and 3.2, :func:`os.kill` is implemented similar to the above function, with the additional feature of being able to send CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK to console subprocesses which are designed to handle those signals. See :func:`os.kill` for further details.

Why does os.path.isdir() fail on NT shared directories?
1142
The solution appears to be always append the "\\" on the end of shared drives.
1143
>>> import os >>> os.path.isdir( '\\\\rorschach\\public') 0 >>> os.path.isdir( '\\\\rorschach\\public\\') 1
1144
It helps to think of share points as being like drive letters. Example::
1145
k: is not a directory k:\ is a directory k:\media is a directory k:\media\ is not a directory
1146
The same rules apply if you substitute "k:" with "\\conky\foo"::
