You're correct that ‘python-daemon’ uses Unix facilities to create a
well-behaved Unix daemon process.

Since MS Windows lacks those facilities, ‘python-daemon’ can't use them.

If what you need – the support to create a Unix daemon process – is
available only on Unix by definition, it seems you'll need to deploy to
Unix.
