Is there a way to change effective process name in Python?

by

I’ve recently written a Python module to change the process title in a portable way: check https://github.com/dvarrazzo/py-setproctitle

It is a wrapper around the code used by PostgreSQL to perform the title change. It is currently tested against Linux and Mac OS X: Windows (with limited functionality) and BSD portings are on the way.

Edit: as of July 2010, the module works with BSD and with limited functionality on Windows, and has been ported to Python 3.x.
