IMO It's much easier to just run the process with an ampersand and redirect log output to a file. e.g.
$ python code.py >log.txt 2>&1 & [2] 36879 $ You can end this terminal session and the python process will continue to run in the background. View the debug output by opening log.txt. If you want to kill this process, just type $ kill 36879 You may need superuser privileges for kill to work. Screen is a great tool, but this isn't really what you should be using it for.
