proctitle Dynamic Process Names

Simple context manager so that tasks can be reflected in the process names of Celery workers.

For instance:

from proctitle import *
    with ProcTitle("intense task"):
    do_something_intense()

Can also be used as a function decorator:

from proctitle import *
import time

@ProcTitle("delay")
def g(n):
    time.sleep(n)

g(10)   # during this time, the proc title is "python - delay"

@ProcTitle("sleeping", replace=True)
def f(n):
    time.sleep(n)

f(10)   # during this time, the proc title is just "sleeping"
