It seems like an excellent thing to add to the "os" module.
If 'prctl' is a standard POSIX system call, then it should be a
candidate for inclusion in the os module if someone opens a tracker
enhancement issue and presents an argument in favor.
I think this request was already denied: http://bugs.python.org/issue5672

Though since they just create a Named Object in Windows, I am not sure
it would work for something like killall.
There is/was a project called exemaker for Windows. (see Pypi for
link). I don't use Windows any more, but it was a nice trick, when it
worked. Not all python scripts could be wrapped in it, but basically it
let you wrap a python script in a tiny Windows program which launched
the usual python dll's. You could call it anything you liked, and
that's what the task manager saw as the process name.
