[python-win32] Windows service using py2exe

[Antony Joseph]

Hi all,

I converted my python project to a service. When using the usual
options of install and start/stop, everything works correctly.

When I compile the project using py2exe,

>test.exe install
Installing service test

>test.exe start
Starting service test

- But it not actually get started

When i run it in debug mode,

>test.exe debug
Starting service Test

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop>test.exe debug
Debugging service Test - press Ctrl+C to stop.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    console=["test.py"],
    zipfile = None,
    service=[test]
