Hi, I have a testservice.py (see below). I installed the Windows-Service successfully. (via commandlineoption install) The problem is that it runs only when it is in c:\windows\system32 or in the python path. I added the desired path (Y:\) to the PYTHONPATH environment variable for the system account and rebooted. When I start command line python and do a import testservice everything is fine. Starting the service with the script only in Y:\ gives the error in the event log:
Python could not import the service's module exceptions.ImportError: No module named testservice Thanks for your help. -- Greg testservice.py: import win32serviceutil, win32service import servicemanager import win32api import win32event import sys class TestPipeService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework): _svc_name_ = "MDE Dispatcher" _svc_display_name_ = "MDE-Dispatcher" _svc_description_ = "Dispatches machine events from the Siemens ODC to registrered MDE clients (windows) over the network via XML-RPC" def __init__(self, args): win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args) self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None) def SvcStop(self): self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING) win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop) def SvcDoRun(self): # Write an event log record - in debug mode we will also # see this message printed. servicemanager.LogMsg( servicemanager.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, servicemanager.PYS_SERVICE_STARTED, (self._svc_name_, '') ) while 1: win32api.Sleep(2) rc = win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, 2000) if rc == win32event.WAIT_OBJECT_0: break # Write another event log record. servicemanager.LogMsg( servicemanager.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, servicemanager.PYS_SERVICE_STOPPED, (self._svc_name_, " TEST ") ) if __name__=='__main__': win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(TestPipeService) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
