Running games using functions

Question

My Code:

import threading
import time 
import subprocess
Thread1 = threading.Thread(target=Run_exe)

def run_exe():
    subproccess.call("game.exe")

while True:
   time.sleep(3600)
   x = int(input(""))
   if x==1:
      Thread1.start()
   else:
      Thread1.join()

My objective is the following:

Run the game using the Run_exe function
Kill thread when I exit the game

I don't want to exit game from the game itself the Python program should get an input to exit the games by killing the thread.

yes how run the game with python and exit it with python also without interfering with the games using functions and threads — KGBGUY, Oct 02 '19 at 13:30

Use subprocess.Popen constructor and save the pid:

process = subprocess.Popen("game.exe")
pid = process.pid

If you want to stop the process, call: (from this answer)

import os
import signal

os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM) #or signal.SIGKILL
