IPython on resizeable Win32 Console If you are on win32, you might want to use Console, an open source replacement for that inflexible old win32 terminal. Here's how. Install IPython using the .exe installer. Download stable version of Console (1.5 at this time). Create a shortcut to console.exe, right-click -> properties. Set target to e.g. C:\opt\Console\console.exe -c "/k python c:\python25\scripts\ipython.py -p sh" you can also create a tab dedicated to Ipython (and have other dedicated to other shells or command-line app). go to edit->settings->tabs : click on the add button and fill the following fields : * title : ipython ico : C:\Python24\py.ico shell : cmd.exe /k "ipython" start-up dir : whatever is good for you. note that python.exe need to be in the path Using IPython with Version 2 of Console use the -r option for creating the shortcut, e.g. C:\opt\Console2\console.exe -r "/k python c:\python25\scripts\ipython.py -p sh" Some advantages of Console2 over normal console (for IPython use) Distinctive taskbar icon Can reside in system tray There are many other benefits, so it's well worth setting up Example config for Console-2.00b120-Beta (you need to edit the xml file): http://vvtools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/config/console.xml If you have problems with ctrl+C killing Console2 immediately, launch ipython from a normal Console2 session manually.

Re: Kill process based on window name (win32) Thank you Roger. Your advice did the trick. For anyone interested, the basic code to terminate a process (politely) would be something like this (hwnd is retrieved using win32gui.EnumerateWindows): # Get the window's process id's t, p = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd) # Ask window nicely to close win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) # Allow some time for app to close time.sleep(10) # If app didn't close, force close try: handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, p) if handle: win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) except: pass:
