[SOLVED] Setting terminal title from within python
I know the following commands can set the title of the terminal window:
unset PROMPT_COMMAND
echo -en "\033]2;[b]$1[/b]\007"However they do nothing if I call them from python using the commands module.
Is there a way to enable my console python scripts to change the title of the terminal they are running in?

There are two types of people in this world - those who can count to 10 by using their fingers, and those who can count to 1023.
