Having daemonization code in the standard library would be good.

Yes, I think I got some of the code in daemonize from the cookbook. I had been using a little C program for that (e.g.: "daemonize python pydaemon.py" ) but that required invoking from a shell, or remebering to use the daemonize tool. With the daemonize module I could do it from within python in a standard way. It may need some tweaking to make it more portable.
