I have a Python script which I would like to test without a tty attached to the process. I could run it as a cron job, but is there an easier way?
There is module on Pypi called python-daemon; it implements PEP-3143. This module detaches the process from the tty and resets a number of process attributes that are normally inherited. You could start by reading the PEP to determine which of its features are relevant to your situation. It would provide you with a complete list of aspects you'd need to think about. If a third of what the module does is relevant to your situation and the other two thirds do not hurt, then using the module is likely to be less work than rolling your own.
