Do you have an explanation why to official build ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ ) is missing these module? I'm curious. After installing this package, the "service start" operation throws "The Service Did Not Respond To The Start Or Control Request In A Timely Fashion". error code 1053 I have written many other win32 services in python2 before, but never got this error message. Is this specific to windows 10? Here is an MWE: #!/usr/bin/python3 import win32serviceutil import win32service import win32event import servicemanager import socket import threading import time class AppServerSvc(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework): _svc_name_ = "TestService" _svc_display_name_ = "Test Service" def __init__(self, args): win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args) self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None) self.stop_requested = threading.Event() self.stop_requested.clear() socket.setdefaulttimeout(60) def SvcStop(self): self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING) win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop) def SvcDoRun(self): servicemanager.LogMsg(servicemanager.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, servicemanager.PYS_SERVICE_STARTED, (self._svc_name_, '')) self.main() self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOPPED) def main(self): self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_RUNNING) while not self.stop_requested.is_set(): time.sleep(1) # So something useful here if __name__ == '__main__': win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(AppServerSvc) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
