Research direction
Investigate the use of signal.SIGKILL in the codebase, specifically in the rq library dependency. On Windows, signal.SIGKILL does not exist; use signal.CTRL C EVENT or handle differently. Check if the issue is in the rq library or in xcessiv's own code. Look at setup.py and views.py for imports. Provide a fix by conditionally importing or using try except.
