I think you could have a much better chance if you revise the PEP 
proposal by also considering Windows' daemon (i.e. Windows Service). Make 
it so that Unix's and Unix-like's daemon and Windows Service have as 
similar interface as possible (then create the implementation, caveat: 
"it's not going to be me").
