I don't know how to change the "Processes" display, and I don't think it
can be done, since I've never seen a program do it, even programs that
would very much like to do it (read: virii). 

However,

from Tkinter import *
r = Tk()
r.title("Hello!")

*will* change the title in the Applications tab for the Tk window.

Also, I hope you *can't* hide the python interpreter from the task
manager... that would be a security flaw (albiet a minor one) in windows.

AFAIK, ".title()" will have to do, no matter what language you write it
in. (Again, I may be wrong but I would consider it a security flaw if I
am.)
