  Description     : Python interface to the prctl() syscall

 The linux prctl function allows you to control specific characteristics of a
 process' behaviour. Usage of the function is fairly messy though, due to
 limitations in C and linux. This module provides a nice non-messy python(ic)
 interface.

I've packaged it for debian in the debian/ branch of the github repo and Andrew
Pollock has offered to sponsor the upload.
