Hi,  
I created an ansible inventory script for joyent. The script does smart caching where it can serve from cache and create a daemon thats does an API to update cache.

The script uses “daemonize” to create a background session and detaches the main process. It works perfect if invoked from command line but when invoked “ansible -i ./joyent.py --list-hosts all” it waits for the damon process somehow.

Not sure where to start any ideas

does your daemon detach from the tty?
