Hi Mark,
My setup.py doesn't have anything specific for pywin32, cx_Freeze handles
that well. I just have base set to Win32GUI (though maybe you could use
Win32Console if it's only a service) and I have the include_msvcr set to
True.
Yes, arguments passed to the exe are accessible via sys.argv just as in a
normal Python script - in my case the code I shared with you is used as a
module and I have a "main" script that parses the arguments and then passes
them to methods in the class of that module to start things up.
Take care,
-Dan
