[python-win32] Thread won't run in service

[wyvernlist]

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. That could be it but I'm unable to check on my 
development machine (a laptop running XP Home) as the local security 
policy option does not exist. I'll try it on the server itself.

I can actually write entries to the event log with the service, it's 
just that the thread I spawn appears to do nothing.

Thanks,

Jan
