may be you think about the fork(), eg:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ...other codes, eg. drop root privileges, ...
    ...check arguments...
    try:
      pid = os.fork()
      if pid > 0:
          #print "Daemon started (pid: %d)" % (pid)
          sys.exit(0)
    except OSError, e:
      print >>sys.stderr, "fork #1 failed: %d (%s)" % (e.errno, e.strerror)
      sys.exit(1)
    
    os.chdir("/")
    os.setsid()
    os.umask(0)
    
    # do second fork
    try:
      pid = os.fork()
      if pid > 0:
          #print "Daemon started (pid: %d)" % (pid)
          sys.exit(0)
    except OSError, e:
      print >>sys.stderr, "fork #2 failed: %d (%s)" % (e.errno, e.strerror)
      sys.exit(1)

    main()
