> One thing to remember is that in Python, STDOUT and STDOUT are buffered. That's not really a correct explanation, and not just because it says standard output twice. This is a commonly misunderstood part of running things under service management, and faulty explanations like this just confuse people. Other than that, almost none of the article is about writing stuff in Python. Which is good, because my initial reaction before reading the article was to think that there's nothing really Python-specific to making a service. Even the language I/O buffering rules that one has to remember are largely shared with some other programming languages. (-:
