The question of how to set the application name comes up somewhat
regularly. It would be awfully nice if there was a way for python
applications to set their application name. It's especially useful
for daemons, and makes it much easier when you can kill them by name
instead of having to look up the PID.
It seems like an excellent thing to add to the "os" module.
