There's no reason you can't do this 'classless' in Python.

I've seen similar Python code that takes the Perl approach, as well as code where the 'daemonizer' is a function that takes a function (which is the main event loop of the daemon) as an argument.

In this case it's a design, not a language decision.

Sure. At that point in my comment, I was no longer comparing languages, and merely commenting on the implementation of the linked article.
