Connect to db2 with python ibm_db_dbi and get the list of applicationsn NAME column always shows python.
import ibm_db_dbi
db2ConnArgs = "DATABASE=%s;HOSTNAME=%s;PORT=%s;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=%s;PWD=%s;" % ('SAMPLE', 'localhost', 50000, 'db2test', 'db2test')
db2ConnDict = {ibm_db_dbi.SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_SCHEMA:'SAMPLE'}
dbhandle = ibm_db_dbi.connect(db2ConnArgs,"", "","","",db2ConnDict)
Run db2 list application

Is it possible to assign a custom name?
It's possible using ibm_db_dbi.ibm_db.SQL_ATTR_INFO_PROGRAMNAME connection attribute
import ibm_db_dbi
db2ConnArgs = "DATABASE=%s;HOSTNAME=%s;PORT=%s;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=%s;PWD=%s;" % ('SAMPLE', 'localhost', 50000, 'db2test', 'db2test')
db2ConnDict = {ibm_db_dbi.SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_SCHEMA:'SAMPLE', ibm_db_dbi.ibm_db.SQL_ATTR_INFO_PROGRAMNAME : 'luis_app'}
dbhandle = ibm_db_dbi.connect(db2ConnArgs,"", "","","",db2ConnDict)
Run db2 list application
