I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, but you're not doing
the backgrounding right, it should be:

  if os.fork():
    os._exit(0)
  os.setsid()
  os.chdir("/")
  fd = os.open("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR)
  os.dup2(fd, 0)
  os.dup2(fd, 1)
  os.dup2(fd, 2)
  if fd > 2:
    os.close(fd)
  # do stuff
