stop a python script

Question

I have been dabeling in flask lately (which is a micro framework written in python) and have come across an interesting problem. After writing my the script I ran it using the command:

nohup python2.6 app.py &

Now I can't seem to stop the app for the life of me. Is there something I need to do special for webfaction? Or am I just flaking out?

Run this command to get a list of your running processes and their IDs:

ps -u joshfinnie -o pid,command

Locate the process you want to stop and get its ID, then enter:

kill process_ID

That should stop the app.
