Question

The topic basically tells what I want to to.

I read the documentation, which tells me how to handle signals but not how I can do signalling by myself.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use the os.kill method. Since Python 2.7 it should work (did not test it myself) on both Unix and Windows, although it needs to be called with different parameters:

import os, signal

os.kill(pid, signal.SIGHUP) # Unix version only...
