Note that only the daemon parameter of the process defines whether the process should run in the background or not. To run this example, type the following command:

> python run_background_processes.py

The output clearly reports only the NO_background_process output:

Starting NO_background_process
---> 5

---> 6

---> 7

---> 8

---> 9
Exiting NO_background_process

The output changes the setting of the daemon parameter for background_process to False:

background_process.daemon = False

To run this example, type the following:

C:>python run_background_processes_no_daemons.py

The output reports the execution of both the background_process and NO_background_process processes:

Starting NO_background_process
Starting background_process
---> 5

---> 0
---> 6

---> 1
---> 7

---> 2
---> 8

---> 3
---> 9

---> 4

Exiting NO_background_process
Exiting background_process
