Another alternative is the win32service module from the pywin32 package (which IMO you'll almost certainly want available when doing any significant Windows-specific operations) which wraps the native win32 libraries for enumerating, querying and controlling services. A simple loop could use EnumServicesStatus to iterate through the services, OpenService with the SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG flag to get a handle to each service, and then QueryServiceConfig to retrieve configuration information. Since pywin32 is a relatively thin wrapper over the win32 libraries, pure MSDN documentation can be used for help with the calls, augmented by any Python-related information contained in the pywin32 documentation. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
