**1、编写守护进程的步骤 **
创建守护进程其实和c创建守护进程的方式大同小异了，其实就是那么几个步骤：
- 创建子进程，父进程退出
- 改变当前目录为根目录
- 在子进程中创建新会话
- 重设文件权限掩码
- 子进中创建孙子进程，子进程退出，孙子进程成为真正的守护进程
- 关闭文件描述符
2、定义一个Daemon类，有其他人写好的标准类，可以直接引用
daemon_python.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
#coding:utf-8
import sys, os, time, atexitfrom signal
import SIGTERM
class Daemon:
"""

Usage: subclass the Daemon class and override the run() method
"""
def __init__(self, pidfile, stdin='/dev/null', stdout='/dev/null', stderr='/dev/null'):
self.stdin = stdin
self.stdout = stdout
self.stderr = stderr
self.pidfile = pidfile
def daemonize(self):
"""

是不是很简单，你们自己也动手试一下吧。
这里用到的命令行解析函数OptionParser()，大家可以自己去查下，这个函数功能很强大
