daemonizing python

[jubei]

So I'm trying to daemonize a python script , I've got the following already

 if os.fork():
   sys.exit()

i'm not sure how to handle closing and then reopening stdin,stdout,st derr, or if its even needed in python

Hi jubei,
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to accomplish. If you could elaborate on your problem and perhaps include a little more code, as well as explain what, exactly you are trying to do, I'm sure the forum will be a much greater help.

I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea where you are headed, and it's been almost a decade since I was on unix daily. That said, a great place to look for obscure, sometimes advanced, always helpful example code is Python Cookbook.
for example
Title: Creating a daemon the Python way
Makes mention of redirecting to /dev/null in regard to your question.
