Years and years ago we found a module called ntsvc which allows us to run as a Service on Windows. We’ve been using it since well before 2011 to build 32-bit services on Windows with py2exe. If you contact me directly, I’ll dig it out of our source tree and post it on a shared location.
Alternatively, you may want to look at a service manager such as: https://nssm.cc This allows you to run a standard executable as a Windows Service. We’ve just started looking down this path ourselves since we’re looking to move to Python 3.x and want to reduce our dependencies as much as possible. —Ray > On Mar 19, 2015, at 2:58 AM, jyothi.n...@gmail.com wrote: > > On Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 10:02:02 AM UTC+5:30, snorble wrote: >> Anyone know of a Python application running as a Windows service in >> production?
