I would use a separate thread for this, perhaps even a completely
detached daemon. You might want to check the docs for threading:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-threading.html

and these recipes on how to create a daemon:

You can also spawn a separate process with the spawn* family of
functions. If you use them with the os.P_NOWAIT mode, your program
will not hang until the spawned process finishes. See:
