python-daemon

python-daemon is a Python library that implements the well-behaved Unix daemon process specification outlined in PEP 3143. It provides a `DaemonContext` class to manage the process environment for a program becoming a daemon, handling aspects like forking, changing directories, setting umask, and redirecting standard file descriptors. The current version is 3.1.2, and it is actively maintained with releases approximately every few months, though code changes are less frequent.
