I'm trying to subclass win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework in order to create a Windows service in Python. I vaguely understand how each stage of service works, but I wonder, what happens if any of the python code throws an exception? Will the service stop, or put in an abnormal state without recourse?
In general it will log a message to the eventlog and stop. Up until https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1563 & https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/1566, it ended up reporting a normal `SERVICE_STOPPED` with an exit code of zero, but now it reports a non-zero code so you can configure it to auto-restart on exceptions.
