Has anyone dealt with Python based Windows Services not starting properly at system boot? They start immediately after boot, but not at boot. Attempting to use various dependencies to make it start up later in the process hasn't seemed to help.
I have to separate codebases that exhibit this issue, their commonality is they both connect to a PostgreSQL database on the machine, and use multiprocessing and threading. I don't have the issue narrowed down to a test case that exhibits the issue, but it occurs on some systems every single time, and on others only intermittently. For one of the two, delaying at service startup (sleep...) before importing wmi and pythoncom libraries seemed to cause it to stop failing at startup. The other does not seem to use wmi/pythoncom directly.
