Example of signaling and creating a python daemon

[Jon Monteleone]

What I dont understand about daemonizing a python script is whether or not it requires the
daemon creation, ie the signal handling and forking of the process, to be part of the
daemon code or is this code in a separate program that acts like a wrapper to turn a
python program into a daemon.  The latter is how linux documentation describes turning a
program into a daemon.

I guess I am wondering about the difference between using python to daemonize a program vs
using a bash script to daemonize a program.
