python processes names

[Sylwia]

Hi!

How to make python programs show up by name is ps (e.g ps -e). By
default if we have many different python processes running
simultaneously, then we can only see python python python for three
different python processes. I would much rather see
first_python_program_name.py, second_python_program_name.py and
third_python_program_name.py listed by ps. Is that possible without
downloading and installing any non-standard modules?

Thank you in advance,

Best wishes,

Sylwia

There are MANY ways to go about this. I presume Linux is
your host. Does "ps -F" bring you closer to what you're
after?

Two points worth mentioning about proctitle:
1. "Proctitle is a Python2.X module to manipulate
the raw 'argv[]' contents of a python process."
2. It's pure-Python.
