I've got a library of classes that do a similar thing (in pretty much the
same way), based on a snippet of code in Fredrik Lundh's "Python Standard
Library". It can optionally write to syslog too as well as a plain file.
You can find it here (you want gmalib):

Have a look at the code for the Daemon.daemonise() method to see how it
works. The best example usage is in the landiallerd package (same web
page).
