You are mostly right. It might be due to my incomplete knowledge of Unix (I am using Gentoo). I don't consider myself a newbie, but I am in no way near 'guru' or the like. Anyway, your idea about the existence of a "daemonizer" helped me remember that I have read about it somewhere before. I'll look into that.
As for the manual procedures, I was mostly comparing the Python frameworks with PHP. God, I *hate* PHP's ugliness and I adore Python's cleaness, but the one good thing that PHP *has* is instant deployment -- it beats everything else, hands-down. Deployment is, and always was, the cause of me having difficulties with the various frameworks (and the reason I still program in PHP).
