Two questions:
- Is there a Python equivalent to forever.js to run a Python process in the background without requiring sudo?
- Is it possible to use forever.js with Python? How about with a virtualenv?

It is easy to use Python with forever.js:
forever start -c python python_script.py
To use it with virtualenv is a little bit more complicated, I did it using a bash script (call it python_virtualenv):
#!/bin/bash
# Script to run a Python file using the local virtualenv
source bin/activate
bin/python $@
Now use that script with forever:
forever start -c ./python_virtualenv python_script.py

I'd use the correct path to the virtualenv Python script instead:
forever start -c bin/python python_script.py.

How to make a json file for this?
I was having problems executing a python script with custom logging paths, after trying I got to work with the next command:
forever start -c python -l /tmp/forever.log -o /tmp/out.log -e /tmp/error.log python_script.py
Tell me if it worked for you
