"Usually, daemon processes are processes which got disconnected from
their parent process, and work in the background, often under a
different user identity.
The multiprocessing module has the concept of "daemon" too, but this
time in reference to the "threading" module, in which dameons are just
threads that wont prevent the application termination, even if they are
still running. Thus, daemonic processes launched through multiprocessing
API are normal processes that will be terminated (and not joined) if 
non-dameonic processes are all over."

I guess this difference of concepts would deserve a little paragraph of
clarification, in both multiprocessing and threading APIs (does the
paragraph above fit for that ?)
