How to Close a program using python?

Question

Is there a way that python can close a windows application (example: Firefox) ?

I know how to start an app, but now I need to know how to close one.

Answer 1

On OS X:

1. Create a shell script and put:

killall Application

Replace Application with a running app of your choice.

In the same directory as this shell script, make a python file. In the python file, put these two lines of code:

from subprocess import Popen
Popen('sh shell.sh', shell=True)

Replace shell.sh with the name of your created shell script.
