  Daemonization in Python is the same as daemonization in C, basically just
make calls to fork(), setpgid(), close(), and exit().  Twisted's "twistd"
daemon does this, so you could look at the source for it to see how, or
*use* twistd, as it is meant for exactly this purpose, daemonizing
applications.
