win32service win32pipe question

[dsavitsk]

i downloaded the version in the book and it works better than mine, so i
assume a typo.

when i try to stop the version i downloaded, however, the stop command only
sort of works.  when issued, the service hangs for about 30 seconds, then
responds ...

Stopping service PythonPipeService
Error stopping service: The service did not respond to the start or control
requ
est in a timely fashion. (1053)

it does stop, though.

is this something to worry about?
