This sounds more like a problem with your approach to servicing your product, and not necessarily a python windows specific problem.
I can point you in the direction to create the firewall exception, but you would still need to figure out how to arrange to have the code actually execute. Windows Firewall rule exceptions don't appear that hard to define. Windows Firewall COM interfaces docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366449(v=vs.85).aspx Some simplistic VBScript examples of using those interfaces: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366421(v=vs.85).aspx I'd use the VBScript examples as a base and determine what kind of exception is best for your needs. (i.e. as little of an exception as possible) Bill On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 9:05 PM, Andrew Hammond < andrew.george.hamm...@gmail.com> wrote: > We have python running on a number of devices in the field and have > experienced problems where it appears that a windows update has removed a > windows firewall exception, blocking our python service from operating. > > Has anyone else experienced something like this?
