Windows doesn't have daemon mode and it wouldn't really help in this case even on Linux.
In some cases for database on UNIX, if daemon mode runs as a special user then it can be granted access to a database without a password through local UNIX socket access, but that is the user of the whole process and not the specific user who may have logged in to your web application over the Internet. Under windows their may be a way of doing this sort of thing through some sort of SSO module for Apache, if the session key can be used within the Python application, but I have no knowledge about all that Windows stuff so am guessing.
