I believe you can achieve that effect in C by assigning to argv[0], but
assigning sys.argv[0] in Python does not do it.

Another way (untested) to do it would be to use

        os.execv(sys.executable, [newname, pathtoscript] + args)

Not portable, not pretty. Well, the symlink trick isn't either.
