Send SIGINT in Windows using Python

Question

I try this code in Linux:

import os
import signal

for i in range(10000):
    print i
    if i==6666:
        os.kill(os.getpid(),signal.SIGINT)

it works well. But it doesn't work in Windows, because the attribute 'kill' is not present in os module for Windows

How can I send SIGINT to self program in Windows?

I don't know if SIGINT exists on Windows. You might want to check out this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/813086/can-i-send-a-ctrl-c-sigint-to-an-application-on-windows — Eric Renouf, May 12 '15 at 01:29

@EricRenouf: Yeah, SIGINT is not a Windows thing at all. (*nix signals aren't actually a Windows thing, even; there are broadly similar mechanisms, but they don't map cleanly.) — Nathan Tuggy, May 12 '15 at 01:35
