Python3 implementation

[stephan schultchen]

hey all,

i have written a implementation of pep 3143, that will work with python 2
and 3

It contains a PidFile Class that only depends on build in modules.

i have also written some unit and integration tests, currently they depend
on python 3.3 because of the use of unittest.mock. and i think i will have
to add some more tests later.

the only external dependency is the six package.

i tried to stick as close as possible to the PEP, but there where some
parts where i felt that they make no sense.

for example the DaemonContext.close() method is a dummy function. because
there is no sane way to close a daemon, except doing clean-ups and calling
sys.exit(). But it is there, and if anyone like, it could be subclassed and
overwritten.

i also dropped the atexit stuff from the open() method. I moved this into
my PidFile class.

here is my initial commit on GitHub:

https://github.com/schlitzered/pep-3143-daemon

this is a quite early state, but it should do everything that is needed for
turning a process into a daemon.

feel free to test this, and send me some feedback.

cheers

stephan
