More than that would need to be added: changes in documentation, a
complete set of unit tests for all the new code paths, a migration
path for when we eventually drop Python 2.6 support and want to drop
this custom implementation. Maybe more.

No, on the whole I think that's too much effort to add a custom
implementation of something already in Python 2.7. I'll add the
feature in ‘python-daemon’ 1.6.x, but not 1.5.x.

Please subscribe to ‘python-devel’ and follow the discussion there if
you'd like to know more.
