Submission from: pan.admiral.co.uk (193.112.216.1)


win32service.OpenService does not handle embeded spaces in the service name, it
does not find the name. The following code sample works OK for the first names,
but any Service Names with embedded spaces fail, with a message as follows.

Note that this occurs with both Win32all v125 and 127(beta3). (The output
supplied is using 127)
Starting the service from the NT command line works fine with command:
net start "Protected Storage"
   
MSDTC
MSSQLServer
Protected Storage
Traceback (innermost last):
