It doesn't work on my system; I just get yet another process called
python. I just read that on some systems perl allows you to rename the
process by assigning to $0:

Is there a way to do the same in python? My trouble is that this are
small utilities that I start from the command line and later need to
stop; I just find myself unable to do so with stopping all of them...

Cheers
