Is there a way to stop the multiprocessing Python module from trying to call & wait on join() on child processes of a parent process shutting down?

2010-02-18 10:58:34,750 INFO calling join() for process procRx1

I want the process to which I sent a SIGTERM to exit as quickly as possible (i.e. “fail fast”) instead of waiting for several seconds before finally giving up on the join attempt.

Clarifications: I have a “central process” which creates a bunch of “child processes”. I am looking for a way to cleanly process a “SIGTERM” signal from any process in order to bring down the whole process tree.
