+The linux prctl function allows you to control specific characteristics of
+a process' behaviour. This module provides a nice non-messy python(ic)
+interface to prctl(2).

+Besides prctl, this library also wraps libcap for complete capabilities(7)
+handling and allows you to set the process name as seen in ps and top.
