python-seth 0.6

Python Daemon library

python-seth is a pretty simple object named Daemon used to daemonize a process.

To do so subclass the Daemon object and override its run method with the code you want to turn into a unix daemon.

You can override the shutdown method which is called on Daemon stop (either via the stop method or on SIGTERM).

Cf. examples for code snippet.

FEATURES:

• redirects stderr|stdout to file

• writes a pid file

• transparently deletes the pid file at stop

• catch SIGTERM and handles a clean stop via shutdown method
