python-pidfile

A Pidfile Context Manager compatible with python-daemon's DaemonContext()

Thanks

This is a direct copy (minus example usage in file) from an ActiveState recipe found here: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577911-context-manager-for-a-daemon-pid-file/

Example Usage

import daemon
context = daemon.DaemonContext()
context.pidfile = PidFile("/var/run/mydaemon")

or

with daemon.DaemonContext(working_directory=".", pidfile=PidFile(pidpath)):
  #do your daemonstuff here
