It's not realy neccesary do use the stderr and stdout parameters, in 
fact the default value for those parameters are null ('/dev/null').
The functionality is like this.
All you print to stdout going to be in the stdout parameter of the 
daemon function, and the same thing for stderr.

Now my suggestion for you, is you already have initialize a "logging 
file", just use the logging module  to redirect informacion  what's is 
doing your forked  function, and use the stderr paramater of the daemon 
function to DEBUG errors in the forked function.
