Ludvig Ericson <lud...@lericson.se> added the comment: I use the setproctitle module extensively. It has worked flawlessly.
What would be needed for this to get accepted? I realize one shouldn't stress such a decision, but still I feel this is something the standard library should be able to do. My justification for inclusion into the standard library is that one has to make a workaround on systems where setproctitle ISN'T installed (I don't feel such a small component should be a requirement for production use.) Everywhere I use setproctitle, I have to go: try: from setproctitle import setproctitle except ImportError: setproctitle = lambda t: None Which is not only rather lengthy, but also IMO entirely unnecessary. As I noted, setting the process title is mostly for convenience and aesthetics, and therefore it's hard to justify the dependency. For that reason I think standard library inclusion is more relevant than otherwise. So, are there any other reasons to wait with this other than the need of a PEP and proposing that to python-dev or whatever forum is best suited? ---------- nosy: +lericson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
