Struggling to try and get a python daemon to work using Python 3.3.4. Im using the latest version of the python-daemon-3K from PyPi i.e. 1.5.8
Starting point is the following code found How do you create a daemon in Python? code i believe is 2.x Python. import time from daemon import runner class App(): def __init__(self): self.stdin_path = '/dev/null' self.stdout_path = '/dev/tty' self.stderr_path = '/dev/tty' self.pidfile_path = '/tmp/foo.pid' self.pidfile_timeout = 5 def run(self): while True: print("Howdy! Gig'em! Whoop!") time.sleep(10) app = App() daemon_runner = runner.DaemonRunner(app) daemon_runner.do_action()
Attempting to run this i get the following error. python mydaemon.py start
Traceback (most recent call last): File "mydaemon.py", line 60, in daemon_runner = runner.DaemonRunner(app) File "/depot/Python-3.3.4/lib/python3.3/site-packages/python_daemon_3K-1.5.8-py3.3.egg/daemon/runner.py", line 89, in init app.stderr_path, 'w+', buffering=0) ValueError: can't have unbuffered text I/O
Any pointer how to translate to work with Python 3.3.4 or a good example of using the runner in python-daemon-3K
Thanks derek
