I don’t think Victor likes #2 because of the zombie. I would be interested in #4 (one of the documented purposes of subprocess is to replace os.system), but it might need careful consideration and discussion. Ignoring signals is such a significant change I think it would have to be a new feature for 3.6+ only.

Mike/Victor, what do you think of my proposal (call it #6) about waiting a second time before resorting to SIGKILL? Posting a patch which implements this.
