Starting a Python COM server from vb?

[U-CDK_CHARLES\Charles]

Pretty much what it says.

I've a number of Python services that I'd like to use from vb.  The
hitch is ensuring the services are started before the VB program tries
to use them.

Startup folder isn't a good solution, as folks sometimes putter with
their startup folder options.

Is it as simple as exec()-ing the service script?  That IS workable,
provided VB's exec() function plays nice and allows the service to run.

I WILL be testing everything I can think of, so there's no especial
urgency here . .yet.

Thanks
