Description

Lets a Python process change the name shown by tools such as ps, top, and process monitors. It helps daemons, workers, and long-running services display a clearer role or current task to administrators.

Developers use it as a library inside running programs. Process titles are diagnostic labels, not security boundaries, so do not rely on them for authentication or process identity checks.
