Renaming the "python.exe" process in Windows Task Manager to a unique name can be helpful when you need to distinguish between multiple Python processes running simultaneously. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Open Task Manager by pressing the "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" keys or by right-clicking the taskbar and selecting "Task Manager".
  2. Go to the "Details" tab and find the "python.exe" process that you want to rename.
  3. Right-click the process and select "Properties".
  4. In the "Properties" dialog box, go to the "Image" tab.
  5. In the "Image name" field, enter the new name that you want to give to the process (e.g., "my_python.exe").
  6. Click "OK" to save the changes.

The process should now appear in Task Manager with the new name that you specified. Note that renaming a process in Task Manager doesn't actually change the executable file name, so the original "python.exe" file will still be used.
