verified Jun 28, 2026 install

The `setproctitle` module is a C extension for Python that allows a process to change its title, which is displayed by system tools like `ps`, `top`, or `MacOS Activity Monitor`. This is particularly useful in multi-process systems (e.g., master/forked children) to identify the specific task each process is handling. The current version is 1.3.7, and it has a stable release cadence, with the last update in September 2025.
