Changing argv of the python process

[Dave Cinege]

I searched various archives and it appears there is no provision to alter
the actual argv[] strings of the python process. Has this not changed
yet?

I'm very surprised python has this (severe) limitation.

How does one exec a python program with a password on the cmdline?
Create a daemon or child process with a specific process name?
I guess you can't. Time to start looking to patch the python
source me thinks...
