  1. For Python you can do this, which creates the service in one go: nssm install MyServiceName c: python27 python.exe c: temp myscript.py. Where myscript.py is the boilerplate script above, modified to invoke your application script or code in the main function.
  2. The following example shows how to start a service, stop a service, restart a service, or get service status through Python: import win32serviceutil, time def serviceinfo(action, machine, service).

I used this script to run a conversion service with Python on Windows. I stripped it down, so that others can use it for their needs. Install the script from the windows shell: python WindowsService.py install. And start it by: python WindowsService.py start. Import win32serviceutil. Import win32evtlogutil. python Scripts/pywin32postinstall.py -install ## Building from source Building from source has been simplified recently - you just need Visual Studio and the Windows 10 SDK installed (the free compilers probably work too, but haven’t been tested - let me know your experiences!). As is common with Python extensions, there are two Python modules that can work with services: The win32service module implements the Win32 service functions, while the win32serviceutil module provides some handy utilities that utilize the raw API.

Hi, I've implemented the MyService.py example from the py2exe samplesInstall
directory using Python2.6, on my Windows XP SP2, and I get the error
1052...did not respond in a timely fashion immediately when I run the
MyService.py, or the MyService.exe, or if I install it as a service using an
NSIS installer script I wrote, and start it using the windows service
manager.
Any ideas? Here is the code reduced to just the essentials:
import win32serviceutil
import win32service
import win32event
import win32evtlogutil
class MyService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
_svc_name_ = 'MyService'
_svc_display_name_ = 'My Service'Win32serviceutil

Installutil

_svc_deps_ = ['EventLog']
def __init__(self, args):
win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)
def SvcStop(self):
self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)
def SvcDoRun(self):
import servicemanager
log('running')

win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, win32event.INFINITE)
log('stopped')
if __name__ '__main__':
win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(MyService)
I've seen other posters with similar problems, but with theirs it doesn't
work in the .exe, but in my case it doesn't work when I run the .py either.
python MyService.py
