I have not tested this, but you could get the pid by doing Popen.pid and
then killing it from the command line by doing "taskkill /PID [pid]".
This is all dependant on the users ability to kill the task in the first place.
If that does not work then the problem is probably not Python but Windows.

You could test by running your program and doing the taskkill in a separate
command prompt. 

Hope that helps,
Ramit
