`interrupt-process` doesn't work for Python on Windows

[Joost]

Hi,

After running into an issue with a package that enhances Emacs' inferior Python 
shell and a long back and forth with the package's maintainer, the maintainer 
feels there might be a bug in Emacs. Specifically, the command 
`interrupt-process` is not able to interrupt the Python process on Windows. 
Details are in this message and in the message's thread:

https://github.com/jdtsmith/python-mls/issues/8#issuecomment-1033120469

To quote the relevant section:

====================
Here is the issue: `interrupt-process` (and internal C function) does not 
function correctly to interrupt Python on Windows emacs! While at the command 
prompt, a simple `C-c` does correctly interrupt (and returns `Keyboard 
Interrupt\n>>> ` promptly), `interrupt-process` does not, and leads to the 
double-traceback you reported earlier, but _only after you send another 
newline_. This is incorrect behavior, and seems to represent a bug in the way 
Emacs sends interrupts on Windows, which differs from `C-c` in the command 
prompt.

It's easy to verify the difference:

* `C-c` at `>>> ` python prompt in "Command Prompt": immediate 
`KeyboardInterrupt` and prompt.
* `C-c C-c` at `>>> ` python prompt in Emacs _Python_: no `KeyboardInterrupt`.

====================

Should I file a bug report about this? Or is this something Emacs can do 
nothing about?

TIA

Joost
