Subject: [python-win32] PythonService was unable to locate the service
 manager
Message-ID: <0108018cf72db12a-bf384f9a-33b5-4858-8fa5-f2fd05da5cdb-000000@ap-southeast-2.amazonses.com>

Currently experiencing this issue on my Windows machine when installing 
a Windows Service. This is the error output I get from running in the 
cmd as administrator. Restricting me from being able to run my services.

*- PythonService was unable to locate the service manager. Please see 
the event log for details.**
*


Here is the output from event viewer application log:

|The description for Event ID 14 from source Python Service cannot be 
found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on 
your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or 
repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on 
another computer, the display information had to be saved with the 
event. The following information was included with the event: <Error 
getting traceback - traceback.print_exception() failed> The specified 
resource type cannot be found in the image file |


This issue has happened on each of these version I've tested Python3.11, 
3.10.10 and 3.10.8.

Currently running Python 3.10.8 64 Bit on Windows Server 2016.

- I've installed pywin32

- Run post_install in the root directory of python310

- Installed the service with install flag

- Attempted to start service with start flag

- PythonService was unable to locate the service manager. Please see the 
event log for details.

The "<Error getting traceback - traceback.print_exception() failed>" 
part sounds like it is failing to find Python itself. Where is Python 
installed? Is it possible the user running the service can't access that 
location? I believe Python being installed in the default location could 
cause this if the server is running as any other other than the user 
which installed Python.

I performed a custom install for all users on my E: drive 
(E:/installs/python3). Added it to the path. It is not under my specific 
user account. My understanding is this is a global install.

I then run it under administrator privileged cmd and successfully 
install the service.

Looking at security permissions for pythonservice.exe in the root python 
directory. SYSTEM and Admin users have full control.

What exactly is E:? If anything other than a local device it might not 
be available to the user running the service.

To be clear, the entire Python tree will need those permissions, not 
just that .exe. And the question is whether the user running the service 
has access - SYSTEM and Admin should cover many common scenarios, but 
not all. You could try configuring the service for your specific user 
just to see if it works - if it does it would still point to user 
permissions.

Subject: [python-win32] Relevance of very outdated `Pythonwin/pywin/idle`
Message-ID: <DM6PR02MB45716F2D72571747C4C97736E46F2@DM6PR02MB4571.namprd02.prod.outlook.com>

Hi!

I recently had to do a deep dive into https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/tree/main/Pythonwin/pywin/idle as part of a previous PR. See comment: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/2102#discussion_r1380422005

Of course it is extremely outdated, but I think the interesting part is that these IDLE modules are now part of the cpython repo (although most have been renamed over time), and some modules seem to not even be used as part of pythonwin.

I basically expect that none of this works at all today, especially given the minimum version requirement of Python 3.7-3.8. Is this worth keeping around at all?


  *

Pythonwin will look for IDLE extensions first in this directory, then on
the global sys.path.  Thus, if you have IDLE installed and run it from
the CVS sources, you may remove most of the extensions from this
directory, and the latest CVS version will then be used.


Could we just delete this entire folder instead, and update references, reducing further maintenance cost and automated tooling churn? Anything special I should look for in testing?

This is the PR that finally makes basic type-checking validation of public methods possible, easing the addition of 3.7+ type annotations. In its current state, a lot of checks are disabled, and so...
github.com
?

Some of those modules are actually used by pythonwin, particularly by 
pywin/scintilla - so while I agree the ability to update them is 
questionable, I don't think just killing the directory makes sense. Did 
you try to remove it? I'd be surprised if Pythonwin continues to work in 
that scenario.


I also don't see a huge maintenance cost nor must automated tooling 
churn - I haven't seen much in the way of external PRs touching this, 
nor have I personally touched these files recently - indeed most of the 
churn I see if from the *introduction* of such tooling, so one solution 
to that is probably to not try and introduce new tooling which touches 
or checks these files.


Cheers,


Mark

E: is just a local harddrive. The full python install and files under 
the E: drive is accessible for both the local SYSTEM user, my user and 
administrator.

It is configured to run as the Local System Account.


I am successfully able to install the service initially via admin 
command prompt, and the run it via pywin service debug or using 
services.msc. But after performing several more service installs I then 
get this error. It regularly happens and stops any further services from 
running.

I can then reinstall python and it is resolved again.


I've asked IT to review any antivirus blocking of files/manipulation of 
files. They have confirmed there is not. Although I was going to perform 
checksums on the DLL's and pythonservice.exe.

Hello,

I am trying to print from python using the bypass tray on my printer, but I
cannot seem to get it working and it always prints from tray 1.

Here is my code:

image = Image.open(file_path)

    printer_handle = win32print.OpenPrinter(printer_name)

    p_info = win32print.GetPrinter(printer_handle, 2)

    devmode = p_info["pDevMode"]

    devmode.PaperWidth = 3550

    devmode.PaperLength = 8510

    devmode.DefaultSource = 4

    # bins = win32print.DeviceCapabilities(printer_name,
devmode.DeviceName, win32con.DC_BINS)

    # bin_names = win32print.DeviceCapabilities(printer_name,
devmode.DeviceName, win32con.DC_BINNAMES)

    # for bin, bin_name in zip(bins, bin_names):

    #     print(f"Bin number: {bin}, Bin name: {bin_name}")

    hDC = win32ui.CreateDC()

    hDC.CreatePrinterDC(printer_name)

    hDC.StartDoc(file_path)

    hDC.StartPage()

    dib = ImageWin.Dib(image)

    dib.draw(hDC.GetHandleOutput(), (0, 0, image.size[0],image.size[1]))

    hDC.EndPage()

    hDC.EndDoc()

    hDC.DeleteDC()

Your mileage may vary, but while using setprinter.exe for a similar task (many years ago) I found that the different trays can sometimes be large values like 260?

Your best bet might be to set the tray manually in the UI, and then try to look at those values via something like setprinter.exe

The values from setprinter.exe show dmDefaultSource instead of DefaultSource, but it?s all the same

If you need setprinter.exe it should be easily downloadable from sourceforge.

HTH
