Description Reto Rayen 2017-05-31 16:31:48 UTC 
Hi guys

we found a bug which is encountering when we use the python-daemon to run a script as a daemon. When we want to start the daemon. It always fails because the lockfile within the python-daemon is not available. Can you please add this to the standard buildroot image when the package "python-daemon" gets compiled. We encounter the issue with python2 and python3. In both versions it's not included. Below you can find a error trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bender-daemon", line 9, in <module>
    from daemon import runner
  File "/home/deployer/projects/buildroot-2017.02.2/output/target/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/daemon/runner.py", line 33, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'lockfile'

Thanks for the report, well spotted. I'll see if our most active Python contributor can have a look.

Hi Thomas

i did find in addition that "thread" is also not included. Which is needed by lockfile.

I'm closing this bug, because:

 - The runner functionality in the python-daemon project is deprecated

 - The python-lockfile project is deprecated too, and known to be broken

So there is no good way to fix this problem.
