python processes names

You might want to make the scripts executable by
1 .chmod u+x <file>.py
2. putting s.th. like
#! /usr/local/bin/python
as the first line of the script files (with your appropriate python
interpreter path) and
start them directly from the command line with ./<script>.py

But be aware you might still not see the full progname with ps -e (see
manpage).
Try also ps -ef which gives a longer output.
In our environment we also have some different ps program installed which
gives
you the full cmd for a process with
/usr/ucb/ps -auxww|grep <username>
but I honestly do not know where that comes from, etc.
