Have you considered that this is a largely platform-dependent feature?  I've
programmed in C or Pascal for more than twenty years, and never felt the
need to do this myself (though I did ask about it once).  The only place
I've found it useful was when monitoring sendmail with ps.  It was
convenient there to see which sendmail process was doing what.  In most
situations I believe it would be better and more portable to write
information out to a log file which you monitor with the tail command.

My guess is it will not be accepted, but in any case, the correct place to
submit it so it can be tracked is the patch manager at sourceforge for the
Python project:
