Oops -
I missed the original - thanks Roger!
I've
now changed that check to:
if
os.path.splitext(win32service.__file__)[0].endswith("_d"):
Mark
The intent is to register the service to run in
debug mode if you're currently
running a debug build. By convention, pyd's
and exe's have _d appended
to them for a debug build, so you'd have
win32service_d.pyd.
It would be more reliable to use
os.path.splitext and check that the last
2 chars are _d
rather than doing .find on the whole path.

Hi
We
have the following problem when we try to install a Python script as Win32
service:
The Python script is
located in a path that contains the substring "_demonstrator". When
installing the Python service for this script, we get the error message, the
the file "PythonService_d.exe" isn't found. We don't have this file in our
Python installation. First investigations led us to the following lines at
win32serviceutil.py:
def
LocatePythonServiceExe(exeName = None):
# Try and find the specified EXE somewhere. If
specifically registered,
# use it. Otherwise look down sys.path, and the global PATH
environment.
if
exeName is None:
if win32service.__file__.find("_d")>=0:
exeName =
"PythonService_d.exe"
else:
exeName = "PythonService.exe"
...
This function is called to find the executable for the Python service
to store it at registry when the Python service is installed. The call to
find("_d") returns with >0 in our case, because our path contains the
substring "_demonstrator". I don't understand what the meaning of this lines
is. Why is the decission for correct PythonService exe made on the substring
"_d"? This is not very save, I think.
Can anybody explain this?
An easy workaround is to avoid the substring "_d" in the path to the
Python script that should be installed as PythonService. But is it realy
intended to forbid "_d" substrings in paths for PythonServices when we don't
want to run in PythonService_d.exe? How can this be ensured in real world?
Maybe there should be another criteria for the decision which PythonService
exe is taken.
Regards,
Wolfgang
