You are correct, it’s not running. I personally background mine for testing but have never needed/wanted it to start on boot but maybe a ghetto way of doing it is adding a crontab line:

@reboot    cd ~/OSPi; nohup python ospi.py &

I haven’t tried that but I think it should work. I might be confusing you in which case just follow Dan’s instructions which is a more reliable auto launcher.
