A simple tool to help make bottle appliations run in the background as a unix/linux daemon. Try it out by installing with pip:
> pip install bottledaemon
Or, alternatively, install from source:
> git clone https://github.com/jonathanhood/bottledaemon.git > cd bottledaemon > python setup.py install
Usage is pretty straighforward:
from bottledaemon import daemon_run
from bottle import route
@route("/hello")
def hello():
return "Hello World"
if __name__ == "__main__":
daemon_run()The above application will launch in the background. This top-level script can be used to start/stop the background process easily:
jonathans-air:bottle-daemon jhood$ python bottledaemon/bottledaemon.py
usage: bottledaemon.py [-h] {start,stop}
The daemon library guarantees that your application will only be lauched a single time - so multiple "start" commands are OK.
