Not everyone here knows what `exec -a` is so let me say that it's a bashism that sets program's name. `exec prog` is interpreted as a system call `exec('prog', 'prog')` and `exec -a name prog` is interpreted as `exec('prog', 'name')`. Currently sys.argv[0] is the name of the script and it should stay that way. But it would be interesting to preserve argv[0] from C and expose it via sys in addition to sys.executable. Something like sys.original_prog_name. Then the OP can do anything application-specific -- set sys.argv[0], call setproctitle, whatever. > Kind regards, > > Frederik Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ p...@phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
