Reverted.

The problem was that win32api module is part of pywin32 which was available
in Active Python but not Python from Python.org, which figures as to be 
used in
win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt.

However, I've since reverted to an exact environment as in the zenmap 
build guide and
I have the following two alternative approaches that work just fine:

#Use ctypes instead pywin32 which is a standard library in Python.org 
distribution
import ctypes
ctypes.windll.kernel32.TerminateProcess(int(self.command_process._handle), 
-1)

-or-

# :-P
os.popen('TASKKILL /PID '+str(self.command_process.pid)+' /F')
