Summary: Problems installing as windows service...

Initial Comment:
Not sure whether this is just a result of my environment, 
or whether its useful for others as well.

Environment : Windows (XP Prof.) + Cygwin + Python 
2.3 + win32all-155.exe

Tried:

[NOTEBOOK] /cygdrive/c/programs/spambayes-
1.0a4/windows$ python pop3proxy_service.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pop3proxy_service.py", line 38, in ?
    os.chdir(sb_dir)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: ''

# ---

Resolved by moving the file up a directory and 
commenting out the following lines near the top of the 
file (pop3proxy_service.py) :

sb_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(this_filename))

sys.path.insert(0, sb_dir)
# and change directory here, so pop3proxy uses the 
default
# config file etc
os.chdir(sb_dir)

# ---

Then successfully installed service, tried to start it, and 
got the following in the event log:

Python could not import the service's module 
  File "c:\programs\spambayes-1.0a4
\pop3proxy_service_modified.py", line 45, in ?
    import pop3proxy
  File "c:\programs\spambayes-1.0a4\pop3proxy.py", line 
96, in ?
    import spambayes.message
  File "c:\python\Lib\site-
packages\spambayes\message.py", line 137, in ?
    msginfoDB = MessageInfoDB(message_info_db_name)
  File "c:\python\Lib\site-
packages\spambayes\message.py", line 113, in __init__
    self.dbm = dbmstorage.open(self.db_name, self.mode)
  File "c:\python\Lib\site-
packages\spambayes\dbmstorage.py", line 59, in open
    return f(*args)
  File "c:\python\Lib\site-
packages\spambayes\dbmstorage.py", line 41, in 
open_best
    return f(*args)
  File "c:\python\Lib\site-
packages\spambayes\dbmstorage.py", line 18, in 
open_dbhash
    return bsddb.hashopen(*args)
  File "c:\python\lib\bsddb\__init__.py", line 162, in 
hashopen
    d.open(file, db.DB_HASH, flags, mode) 

# ---

Resolved by the following:

chmod a+w *.db

# ---

Not sure if the permissions problem is a result of having 
cygwin installed, but thought I'd mention it in case its a 
general windows issue, or is useful to someone else...
