Yeah, I know, and I can't say I disagree in principle - not sure why
Windows doesn't let the kill in that module work (or if there's an
issue actually running it under all conditions).
At the moment though, I do know that using the sysinternals pskill
utility externally (which is what I currently do interactively)
definitely works so to be honest, automating that is a guaranteed bang
for buck at this point with no analysis involved. Looking into
kill_python or its use can be a follow-on.
