What would be the simplest way to daemonize a python script in Linux?

Question

What would be the simplest way to daemonize a python script in Linux ? I need that this works with every flavor of Linux, so it should only use python based tools.

I have recently used Turkmenbashi :

$ easy_install turkmenbashi
import Turkmenbashi

class DebugDaemon (Turkmenbashi.Daemon):

    def config(self):
        self.debugging = True

    def go(self):
        self.debug('a debug message')
        self.info('an info message')
        self.warn('a warning message')
        self.error('an error message')
        self.critical('a critical message')

if __name__=="__main__":
    d = DebugDaemon()
    d.config()
    d.setenv(30, '/var/run/daemon.pid', '/tmp', None)
    d.start(d.go)
