Not able to kill the cmd through subprocess module in python

Question

i am trying to invoke a command prompt and run some commands on it. However when i am trying to close it through kill() or terminate () , the cmd window does not get closed

Below is my code

from subprocess import Popen, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE
test=Popen(["cmd","/K","appium -p 4723"],creationflags=CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE) 
sleep(10)
test.kill()

Answer 1

Try this

import os
os.system("taskkill /im make.exe")

Answer 2

cmd = 'kill -%d %d' % (signal.SIGINT, os.getpid())
subprocess.call(cmd.split())

This will kill the current processes

Answer 3

You can run another subprocess and kill by PID:

from subprocess import Popen, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE
test=Popen(["cmd","/K","appium -p 4723"],creationflags=CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE) 
pid = test.pid
sleep(10)

subprocess.Popen('taskkill /F /T /PID %i' % pid)  # force kill and kill all child processes
