Not 3rd part or etc. like Grant Edwards said. Is it possible? How about simply using cp to copy the python executable, run chmod +x on it, and run that one? Then ps would list it as the new name, not as python. i tried it on /usr/bin/python2.7 but I see no reason the same approach won't work on 3.x Note, I copied it to a new name in the same directory, which may be important. or not. -- DaveA
