On Linux Ubuntu equipped with Python 2.6.1 I get this: >>> os.kill(99999, 0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 3] No such process >>> print os.kill(-1, 0) None >>> IMHO the latter case should raise "No such process" for consistency or, at least ValueError, but surely not returning None. |

Oddly, by passing -2 as PID no such process is raised: >>> os.kill(-2, 0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 3] No such process >>> |

Read the docs for kill(2). -1 is a completely legitimate PID. Recommend close as invalid. |

You're right. My fault. |
