Project description
# daemonize [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/thesharp/daemonize.png)](http://travis-ci.org/thesharp/daemonize)
## Description daemonize is a library for writing system daemons in Python. It has some bits from [daemonize.sourceforge.net](http://daemonize.sourceforge.net). It is distributed under MIT license.
## Dependencies It is tested under following Python versions:
2.6
2.7
3.3
## Installation You can install it from Python Package Index (PyPI):
$ pip install daemonize
- ## Usage
from time import sleep from daemonize import Daemonize
pid = “/tmp/test.pid”
- def main():
- while True:
sleep(5)
daemon = Daemonize(app=”test_app”, pid=pid, action=main) daemon.start()
## File descriptors Daemonize object’s constructor understands the optional argument keep_fds which contains a list of FDs which should not be closed. For example:
import logging from daemonize import Daemonize
pid = “/tmp/test.pid” logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.propagate = False fh = logging.FileHandler(“/tmp/test.log”, “w”) fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.addHandler(fh) keep_fds = [fh.stream.fileno()]
- def main():
logger.debug(“Test”)
daemon = Daemonize(app=”test_app”, pid=pid, action=main, keep_fds=keep_fds) daemon.start()
