https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/win32/Demos/service/nativePipeTestService.py
is a demo of using a service using python.exe and supports specifying
the command-line, so that might be an option?

Hi, I need to start my python application through windows service. For
this purpose I use pywin32.
I'm not able to make a Python instance to evaluate the -X uf8 flag.
This flag must be passed during python invocation only and not when it
is already started.
After some investigations I've found the service launch
*pythonservice.exe* wrapper but I don't know how to pass the flag to
the Python interpreter.
Is there another option to set this flag? It is possible to set an env
variable *PYTHONUTF8=1 * but pythonservice.exe doesn't seem to
evaluate it...

4.7. UTF-8 mode¶
<https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#utf-8-mode>
New in version 3.7.
Windows still uses legacy encodings for the system encoding (the ANSI
Code Page). Python uses it for the default encoding of text files
(e.g. |locale.getencoding()|
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/locale.html#locale.getencoding>).
This may cause issues because UTF-8 is widely used on the internet and
most Unix systems, including WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
You can use the Python UTF-8 Mode
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#utf8-mode> to change the
default text encoding to UTF-8. You can enable the Python UTF-8 Mode
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#utf8-mode> via the |-X
utf8| command line option, or the |PYTHONUTF8=1| environment variable.
See |PYTHONUTF8|
<https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONUTF8> for
enabling UTF-8 mode, and Excursus: Setting environment variables
<https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#setting-envvars> for how
to modify environment variables.
When the Python UTF-8 Mode
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#utf8-mode> is enabled, you
can still use the system encoding (the ANSI Code Page) via the “mbcs”
codec.
Note that adding |PYTHONUTF8=1| to the default environment variables
will affect all Python 3.7+ applications on your system. If you have
any Python 3.7+ applications which rely on the legacy system encoding,
it is recommended to set the environment variable temporarily or use
the |-X utf8| command line option.
Note
Even when UTF-8 mode is disabled, Python uses UTF-8 by default on
Windows for:
*
Console I/O including standard I/O (see *PEP 528*
<https://peps.python.org/pep-0528/> for details).
*
The filesystem encoding
<https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-filesystem-encoding-and-error-handler>
(see
*PEP 529* <https://peps.python.org/pep-0529/> for details).

Please help me!
Thanks in advance
