Comment (by mtredinnick):
@dcwatson: yours is a case of using our internal daemonisation process for
external usage. That's definitely a situation where closing the external
descriptors would be necessary. We've written that thing for internal
usage only, but once again people have fallen for the "everything in
`django.utils.*` is intended for public reuse trap (it's not).
This is a case where Django really shouldn't be supplying that stuff for
public reuse; it's not our domain. We're providing a web/database
framework, not something that provides extra utilities like daemonising
functionality -- those are better provided by other frameworks. This patch
would help bring `django.utils.daemonise` up to that level of utility, but
for 1.0 that isn't a goal. The patch in some form will go in post-1.0, but
it's not a necessary bug fix at the moment (and the API stability document
for 1.0 will make it clear what portions of `django.utils` are available
for public usage.
I realise it looks like a simple case and what could possibly go wrong?
But it's a feature addition: there is no bug in the way this thing is used
in Django and it is not intended as public API.
