Python threading, threads do not close

Question

I have a Python program and when I exit the application with Ctrl-c, the script does not close. My process still shows in running processes.

#!/         


        

Answer 1

I was unable to kill my python sub process because I had set the shell=True option in the process.Popen command. I removed shell=True and then I could kill it.

If the subprocess is a shell, then you will have to kill the things it is running before the shell will end itself.
