stopping windows services

[David]

Get WService from  http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond. Then, for
example:

import WService
import time

listener = WService.WService("Network Associates McShield")
listener.status(1)
if listener.status(0) != 'STOPPED':
    print "Stopping Network Associates McShield..."
    listener.stop()
    time.sleep(5)
    listener.status(1)
