Launch plugin: SDL windows don't close when Python script is aborted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using libtcod ( http://doryen.eptalys.net/libtcod/ ), which in turn uses 
SDL. Unfortunately, I have no other experience with SDL, and I'm not sure 
whether this is a libtcod-specific issue or a general SDL one.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download libtcod and place the files libtcodpy.py, libtcod.so, and 
terminal.png in the same directory.
2. Download the attached script and place it in the same directory.
3. Open Editra, and run the script using the Launch plugin. A small, blank 
window should appear, titled "Test."
4. Press Abort.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The script should abort, and the SDL window should disappear with it. However, 
although the script appears to abort, the SDL window remains.

Even worse, after I force close the SDL window, a ghost python process starts 
hogging extreme amounts of CPU.

Not sure if this is an Editra issue or not.

The Launch Plugin will attempt to kill the processes and then it will 
disconnect from it. If the process does not listen to the kill request there is 
not much that can be done from Editra itself.

May want to look into the libtcodtest code to see if it is doing any special 
SIG_KILL handling that may prevent it from being closed.

Will leave this issue open for further verification for now

Closing this issue as it doesn't appear to be an issue with Editra itself. If 
the process is ignoring the SIG_KILL message there isn't much else that can be 
done unfortunately. Feel free to reopen if more information becomes available.
