title: What is the difference between Python's python-daemon and daemonize?
body: <p>Both appear to be designed for the same purpose. Are both being updated? Which one should I use?</p>
  
  <p>As a side note, what controls which packages are installed when you run <code>pip install &lt;packagename&gt;</code>? I ran <code>pip install daemon</code> and got the <code>daemonize</code> package, which was surprising because I was trying to install <code>python-daemon</code>. Later I ran <code>pip install python-daemon</code> and got it.</p>
