You could try to run your Python script with the nohup command infront. Nohup will make the script immume to hangups.

example

nohup python myscript.py &

Your output will be send to nohup.out.

You could also use forever. This is a nodejs script but you can run Python scripts with it. [link](https://github.com/foreverjs/forever) – David Jan 29 '15 at 11:12
This will make the process go to background, but it will not prevent it from being killed if you `exit` the session. To do that one has to use screen or similar, where, as you pointed out, you can use the nohup in addition to screen... – DarkCygnus Nov 14 '18 at 17:04
`nohup python manage.py runserver &` this worked for me. to kill it you need to find the pid using `ps aux | grep manage.py` then kill it using `kill pid` – suhailvs Sep 28 '21 at 03:36

Very nice alternative to screen is program called tmux. I use it constantly for daily basis.

To dump process into same terminal, runcd any command you'd like, then:
