I'm hoping for several kind of responses to this email:
* Go through the O'Reilly POSIX book and draw up a list of missing POSIX functions that aren't available in the posix module. This was sparked by Greg Ward showing me a Perl daemonize() function he'd written, and I realized that some of the functions it used weren't available in Python at all. (setsid() was one of them, I think.)
I second this! This was one of the things I noticed when doing the Essential Reference Book. Assuming no one has done it already, I wouldn't mind volunteering to take a crack at it. Cheers, Dave
