script->service.exe

[Pieter Claerhout]

Did you register the class defining the service with the event log? I have
written some services and distributed them with py2exe, and this without
problems. The first few lines for the SvcDoRun method of my service class
look like:

        # Register ourselves with the event log
        win32evtlogutil.AddSourceToRegistry(
            self._svc_name_, os.path.join(self.workdir, self._svc_name_ +
'.exe')
        )

The AddSourceToRegistry function takes two arguments:
1. The name of the service
2. The executable used to run the service

That should do the trick...

Cheers,


Pieter

You will probably need to register your own eventlog source, nominating
a file with embedded messages.  This will generally be win32service.pyd
(there is no win32service.py, so it shouldn't be included!)  See
win32evtlogutil.py

I'm not familiar enough with py2exe to know what it does with services,
but generally pythonservice.exe itself takes care of this.  If py2exe is
not using the code in pythonservice.exe, you will have to arrange it
yourself.
