I'm afraid I haven't followed this closely, but:

The above *should* be incorrect (and actually is, best I can tell). The
tail of SvcRun, which is called by the C++ code, reads:
# Once SvcDoRun terminates, the service has stopped.
# We tell the SCM the service is still stopping - the C framework
# will automatically tell the SCM it has stopped when this returns.
self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
and a quick look at the C++ code shows this should indeed be true. Looking
at pipeTestService.py, it never explicitly sets the state to SERVICE_STOPPED
either, and it has always been my intent that the final stopped state be
automatic as the handler terminates.
So even if the OP overrides SvcRun directly, it should be impossible to
avoid a stopped state being notified. Unless the fact I'm too lazy to big
into the thread plays a part in a misunderstanding... :)
Cheers,
Mark
