Hmm. That seems to be the hard way, since you can set the nice value
of the current process (almost) directly:
import os
nice_adder = new_nice - os.nice(0)
os.nice(nice_adder)
But I suppose it could be useful in situations where you need
privleges you don't currently have. E.g.:
os.system("sudo renice -n %s %s" % (new_nice, os.getpid()))
