daemon 1.0 - the first of the usual suspects for Unix daemons with Python.

pyquery: a jquery-like library for python - definitely check it out, because this is something that has been bothering me for a long time, the libraries for accessing XML data in Python are somewhat primitive. And I really like jQuery, I find its access patterns simply extremely practical.

python-daemon 1.5.5 - and the second of the usual suspects (this one is almost official, at least it is oriented towards a PEP) for writing Unix daemons with Python.

Spring Python - no idea what it's worth, I haven't used Spring under Java so far (well, I hardly ever use Java anyway, at most the JVM occasionally), but you read a lot of positive comments about Spring. Here someone has transferred the ideas to Python - there's even a book about it. I don't know, however, whether a framework for a bondage-and-discipline language translates so well to a highly dynamic language like Python. But you could take a look at it in a quiet hour.

Turkmenbashi 1.0.0 - a library to write Unix daemons. Brings a few more features than the other usual suspects (daemon and python-daemon).
