To reduce the need for 3rd party subprocess creation code, we should have better daemon creation code in the stdlib -- I wrote some damn robust code for this purpose in my previous job, but it never saw the light of day.

Work continues on the PEP 3143-compatible ‘python-daemon’, porting it to Python 3 and aiming for inclusion in the standard library.
