Run as service

[Larry Bates]

You should probably get your hands on Mark Hammond's,
excellent book, Python Programming on Win32.  It
has a very good section on writing services.  I'm not
sure you want this to run as a service.

Also take a look at Sam Rushing's site.  There is an
example of a POP3 mailbox system-tray app.  Should
be a good example to work from.  It may already to
what you want.
