Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:
On POSIX the norm for anything daemonizing itself is to fork() and let the parent die so that its original process with the child pid has ended. But I'm used to this being the responsibility of the daemon process. Not the code launching the daemon. Related, a deferred PEP on supporting any form of daemon stuff in the stdlib: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3143/ along with https://pypi.org/project/python-daemon/ and a plethora of other daemon/daemonize related PyPI libraries. Those tend to be about implement proper become a daemon behavior in Python processes themselves. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38890> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
