Ok, that worked. Thanks! I've played around with the first example, but I
still can't get it to work. Here is my code snippet and the error message:
import win32serviceutil
def start_service(service, machine):
"""Start a service"""
try:
win32serviceutil.StartService(service, machine)
result = 1 #Service started successfully
except win32serviceutil.error:
print "Service already running!"
Here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
File "winsvc.py", line 42, in start_service
win32serviceutil.StartService(service, machine)
File "d:\python21\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 310, in
StartService
win32service.StartService(hs, args)
api_error: (1056, 'StartService', 'An instance of the service is already
running.')
BTW: I have been using/evaluating Python for about 2 weeks. Today I gave a
demo using Python as part of an automated testing solution. Everyone was
quite impressed! So now there is one more company out there using Python...

This works for me.
>>> try:
... win32file.CopyFile(os.path.join(testpath,
'test.log'),os.path.join('d:\\', 'iTest', 'iDir Simple Test', 'OutputData',
'test.log'),1)
... print "worked"
... except win32file.error:
... print "failed"
...
failed
