Set Windows command-line terminal title in Python

This works for Python2.7 under Windows.

>>> import ctypes
>>> ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTitleA("My New Title")

Due to not enough rep I cannot add a comment to the above post - so as a new post.

In Python 3 you can use:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTitleW("My New Title")

I edited this answer: please remark, that it now uses SetConsoleTitleW, which is the Unicode version of the SetConsoleTitle function. This way you can use unicode and no longer have to encode the string/variable to a byte object. You can just replace the argument with the string variable.

On Windows, a simple console command will suffice:

from os import system
system("title " + myCoolTitle)

Nice and easy.
