changing arguments as seen by ps

[Skaperen]

in POSIX systems i can code in C to change the arguments that would be seen by the ps command. the typical reason for this is to identify what a each process, of many that are forked by a parent process, is doing. in Python, i want to do the same in each child i create with the multiprocessing module. in my current project i can launch 2 to 18 child worker processes, each accessing a different AWS region. i'd like to put that specific region name on that process' command line, as seen in ps. how can i do that in Python?
