Putting the pidfile in the current directory by default feels messy. It should be in a global location by default (so you can run start/stop from anywhere). Inspired by this:
We can name the pidfile something more appropriate (myservice.conf.py -> myservice.pid or path.to.service.module -> path.to.service.module.pid) and then prepend with . and put in the current home directory. ie:
