如何结束一个python启动的shell子进程（How to terminate a python subprocess launched with shell=True）

Use a process group so as to enable sending a signal to all the process in the groups. For that, you should attach a session id to the parent process of the spawned/child processes, which is a shell in your case. This will make it the group leader of the processes. So now, when a signal is sent to the process group leader, it's transmitted to all of the child processes of this group.

比如我自己要在python脚本中调用shell启动mitmproxy然后通过杀死进程结束mitmproxy，我的代码如下：

</pre><div><div></div><pre name="code" class="python">import os
import subprocess
import signal

a=subprocess.Popen('mitmproxy -w test.log', stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True, preexec_fn=os.setsid)
time.sleep(50)
os.killpg(os.getpgid(a.pid), signal.SIGTERM)
