Then ps would list it as the new name, not as python.
That's rather a waste of memory. Better to use a link.

Seems like an awfully obtuse way of doing things -- I don't really want to have 15 different copies of Python (or even links), and it requires root privleges every time you want to run a Python program with the "correct" name. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
