AFAIK Python will run the destructor immediately, and the path taken via guestfs_close certainly kills the subprocess: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=src/guestfs.c;h=8b7ab4d... If you're really worried about the subprocess staying around, then grab the PID (g.get_pid) and kill the process *after* deleting the handle. (This is way outside the scope of the API ...)
