Daemonizing python

[NinjaZombie]

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to turn the current python proccess into
a unix daemon, but not doing it like this: 
python myscript.py & 
but from code programaticaly.
Thanks.

Thanks guys, but I'm a little new to this. Take a look at this very simple
code:

import os
print "Entering program"
os.fork()
while (1):
pass# some other work


I was expexting that after 'os.fork()', the rest of the program would run
in the background, which it isn't.

This works! Thanks a bunch, Paul.
