Grig Gheorghiu mentions the python grizzled utility library today in his discussion of deploying tornado in production. I didn’t know about Grizzled, but it looks nifty. I’m have to convert some python from nohup to daemons soon, so the grizzled daemonize function jumped out at me. Grizzled has a lot of useful utilties for config, the command line, databases, io, etc… it also includes a deprecated decorator, and I just implemented my own which wasn’t hard but nice to know it’s in this library as well.
