I've tried running pkill -TSTP python to pause all of the python processes, but they still seem to be running (they're still constantly writing to log files). Is there someway to debug this?

Could you try with SIGSTOP? I don't know the specific case, but Python is slow on handling signals (see SIGINT with Control-C in python). STOP cannot be intercepted by python.

The solution for me was to use "pkill -STOP python" and "pkill -CONT python"
