Hello, I'm trying to kill a process (specifically iChat) using python. I know how to use the command:

ps -A | grep iChat 

Then:

kill -9 PID

However, I'm not exactly sure how to translate these commands over to python. My guess is that it's not very difficult but I just don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
