I am trying to create a module `init` and a module `mydaemon` in Python 2.7 under Debian 7. 

The module `init` checks the requirements such as db connections etc. Then, `mydaemon` runs in a thread and uses the database to do things and write a logfile.

The problem when setting up the thread daemon is that the logging and function call fails. 
But if the thread not daemon working fine...

Where am I wrong or what will be a better approach?

**init.py**

```
import mydaemon, threading

print 'start'
t = threading.Thread( target = mydaemon.start, args = () )
t.daemon = True # error here
t.start()

```

**mydaemon.py**

```
import logging

def start():
   work()
   return

def work():
   logging.basicConfig( filename = 'mylog.log', level = logging.DEBUG )
   logging.info('foo log')
   print 'foo console' 
   return

```
