"Probably"? You haven't even used the module but you felt the need to contribute anyway? And I see that my suggestion is "probably" a security concern too. Would it be too much to ask for you to provide something other than unrelated anecdotes as evidence to support these claims? Or perhaps produce an alternative solution[1] for the OP instead of shitting over a working solution? So you chose to post to share your vague unsubstantiated concerns while offering the sterling advice that a developer need be familiar with a system in order to be aware of the costs in using it. Clearly time well spent by all. 1: http://essiene.blogspot.com/2005/04/python-windows-services.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
