Description: A Python module to customize the process title
==============================================
:author: Daniele Varrazzo
The ``setproctitle`` module allows a process to change its title (as displayed
by system tools such as ``ps`` and ``top``).
Changing the title is mostly useful in multi-process systems, for example
when a master process is forked: changing the children's title allows to
identify the task each process is busy with. The technique is used by
PostgreSQL_ and the `OpenSSH Server`_ for example.
The procedure is hardly portable across different systems. PostgreSQL provides
a good `multi-platform implementation`__: this module is a Python wrapper
around PostgreSQL code.

Installation
------------
``setproctitle`` is a C extension: in order to build it you will need a C
compiler and the Python development support (the ``python-dev`` package in
most Linux distributions). No further external dependencies are required.
You can use ``pip`` to install the module::
pip install setproctitle
You can use ``pip -t`` or ``virtualenv`` for local installations, ``sudo pip``
for a system-wide one... the usual stuff. Read pip_ or virtualenv_ docs for
all the details.
.. _pip: https://pip.readthedocs.org/
.. _virtualenv: https://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/
Python 3 support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of version 1.1 the module works with Python 3. Just use
``pip``/``virtualenv`` for Python 3.
In order to build from the source package and test the module under Python 3,
the ``Makefile`` contains some helper targets.
Usage
-----
The ``setproctitle`` module exports the following functions:
``setproctitle(title)``
Set *title* as the title for the current process.
``getproctitle()``
Return the current process title.
Environment variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few environment variables can be used to customize the module behavior:
``SPT_NOENV``
Avoid clobbering ``/proc/PID/environ``.
On many platforms, setting the process title will clobber the
``environ`` memory area. ``os.environ`` will work as expected from within
the Python process, but the content of the file ``/proc/PID/environ`` will
be overwritten. If you require this file not to be broken you can set the
``SPT_NOENV`` environment variable to any non-empty value: in this case
the maximum length for the title will be limited to the length of the
command line.
``SPT_DEBUG``
Print debug information on ``stderr``.
If the module doesn't work as expected you can set this variable to a
non-empty value to generate information useful for debugging. Note that
the most useful information is printed when the module is imported, not
when the functions are called.
Module status
-------------
The module can be currently compiled and effectively used on the following
platforms:
- GNU/Linux
- BSD
- MacOS X
- Windows
Note that on Windows there is no way to change the process string:
what the module does is to create a *Named Object* whose value can be read
using a tool such as `Process Explorer`_ (contribution of a more useful tool
to be used together with ``setproctitle`` would be well accepted).
The module can probably work on HP-UX, but I haven't found any to test with.
It is unlikely that it can work on Solaris instead.

Other known implementations and discussions
-------------------------------------------
- `procname`_: a module exposing the same functionality, but less portable
and not well packaged.
- `Issue 5672`_: where the introduction of such functionality into the stdlib
is being discussed.

Releases history
----------------
Version 1.1.10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed building with certain ``prctl.h`` implementations (issue #44).
- Use ``setuptools`` if available (issue #48).
Version 1.1.9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed build on VC (issues #20, #33).
- Added ``MANIFEST.in`` to the source distribution to help with RPM building
(issue #30).
Version 1.1.8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added support for Python "diehard" 2.4 (pull request #3).
- Fixed build on Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick (issue #27).
Version 1.1.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added PyPy support, courtesy of Ozan Turksever - http://www.logsign.net
(pull request #2).
Version 1.1.6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The module can be compiled again on Windows (issue #21).
Version 1.1.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- No module bug, but a packaging issue: files ``README`` and ``HISTORY``
added back into the distribution.
Version 1.1.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The module works correctly in embedded Python.
- ``setproctitle()`` accepts a keyword argument.
- Debug output support always compiled in: the variable ``SPT_DEBUG`` can be
used to emit debug log.
Version 1.1.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Don't clobber environ if the variable ``SPT_NOENV`` is set (issue #16).
Version 1.1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Find the setproctitle include file on OpenBSD (issue #11).
- Skip test with unicode if the file system encoding wouldn't make it pass
(issue #13).
Version 1.1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed segfault when the module is imported under mod_wsgi (issue #9).
Version 1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~
- The module works correctly with Python 3.
Version 1.0.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``setproctitle()`` works even when Python messes up with argv, e.g. when run
with the -m option (issue #8).
Version 1.0
~~~~~~~~~~~
No major change since the previous version. The module has been heavily used
in production environment without any problem reported, so it's time to declare
it stable.
Version 0.4
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Module works on BSD (tested on FreeBSD 7.2).
- Module works on Windows. Many thanks to `Develer`_ for providing a neat `GCC
package for Windows with Python integration`__ that made the Windows porting
painless.

Version 0.3
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Module works on Mac OS X 10.2. Reported working on OS X 10.6 too.
Version 0.2
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added ``prctl()`` call on Linux >= 2.6.9 to update ``/proc/self/status``.
Version 0.1
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Initial public release.
