Python 3.5 amd64 and win32service

That worked, thanks.

Do you have an explanation why to official build (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ ) is missing
these module? I'm curious.

After installing this package, the "service start" operation throws "The
Service Did Not Respond To The Start Or Control Request In A Timely
Fashion". error code 1053

I have written many other win32 services in python2 before, but never
got this error message. Is this specific to windows 10?

Here is an MWE:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import win32serviceutil
import win32service
import win32event
import servicemanager
import socket
import threading
import time


class AppServerSvc(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
    _svc_name_ = "TestService"
    _svc_display_name_ = "Test Service"

    def __init__(self, args):
        win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
        self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)
        self.stop_requested = threading.Event()
        self.stop_requested.clear()
        socket.setdefaulttimeout(60)

    def SvcStop(self):
        self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
        win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)

    def SvcDoRun(self):
        servicemanager.LogMsg(servicemanager.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE,
                              servicemanager.PYS_SERVICE_STARTED,
                              (self._svc_name_, ''))
        self.main()
        self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOPPED)

    def main(self):
        self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_RUNNING)
        while not self.stop_requested.is_set():
            time.sleep(1)  # So something useful here


if __name__ == '__main__':
    win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(AppServerSvc)
