Is it technically possible to give Python option of naming process of running script?

I've no idea if it's even possible on Windows. On Linux, what you want
is the prctl function, which (AFAIK) isn't directly available.

Google is your friend, though. Question's already been asked on Stack
Overflow and such, and has a few answers. Nothing that looks
cut-and-dried ready, but several that might work. Look for 'prctl' and
'PR_SET_NAME', which are the C-level function and constant that do the
job; a cursory examination of PyPI shows a module with prctl in the
name, so that may be of value.
