IOError in windows service

[Aspersieman]

Hi all

I have a script (attached) that creates a windows service. Basically the 
service periodically runs a program 'program.exe'. This all works fine, 
but during testing I discovered that if I include any 'print' statements 
(used to debug the service when its run in 'debug' mode), when _not_ in 
debug mode, it throws an error:

<error>
The instance's SvcRun() method failed
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", 
line 785, in SvcRun
    self.SvcDoRun()
  File "C:\Program Files\Program\MyService.py", line 28, in SvcDoRun
    print "Entering while loop..."
<type 'exceptions.IOError'>: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')
</error>

I have removed the 'print' statements, after which the service runs 
fine, but was just curious to find out the reason for this error.

Regards

Nicol
