If you get a python exception printed to stdio that 8080 is not free on 127.0.0.1, then what you do is this:

netstat -o -a

at the windows command prompt. Doing netstat -o alone will give you an incorrect PID.

Look for 8080 in the address string in the first column. Once found, go horizontally over to the last column which is the PID (process ID).

Now to kill a process, I use kill which is part of an mysys install. I found that out by doing where kill on my system.

Thus all together:

netstat -o -a
[find PID then hit ctrl-c to stop netstat]
kill 13164  

where 13164 is an example PID found in the first step.

If you do not have mysys installed, then install it or else look up how to kill a process by its PID on windows.
