That hack might not work - at least, as described, and on Linux or Mac OS if the UNIX-based one, i.e. OS X). Because there could be other users who ran python command lines with or without the -i option. As described, there's no way for this user to know which python invocation is his/hers, and which are of other users. There might be a way, though, if we can get this user's python instance's process id and then grep for a line containing that id (in the appropriate column) in the ps output.
