[python-win32] how to run python in background on Windows ?

[Jim Vickroy]

Hi Michael,

Could you post a short sample script that demonstrates the behavior.

I have several Python scripts running as MS Windows Services 24x7 on
machines where no one is logged in and I have not seen this behavior.  What
version of Windows are you using?

-- jv

Hi, Tom
Thank you very much for your reply.
This is not a "automatically startup" issue.

I can start/stop python by using of Windows control
program in the same login session, but when I logout
and login again, the python service is gone. I have
to go to control panel to start again.
Do you know that is there a way to run python as
a service ?
