Can we pretty please stop writing long-running daemons in Python? As
much as I like it for applications, its startup cost, increased memory
requirements, and comparatively low performance/high battery usage
behaviour for such tasks which involve polling many times a second
make Python the wrong choice for writing daemons on mobile platforms.
