You can also run "ps ax | grep python" to get a list of all the Python scripts running. In any case, if you use the -p option of top, you can give it a comma seperated list of pids to watch. If you were shure there was only one Python script running, you could use something like "top -p $(/sbin/pidof python)". But this will cause an error if there is more then one pid. You can not use ./test.py in pidof because the script itself is not a running program. The program that is running the script is the running program.
