Python win32: error
<p>I am trying to make python script run as a windows service. </p>

<p>Just to have a little understanding, I have taken this code from <a href="http://www.chrisumbel.com/article/windows_services_in_python" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<p>I have installed the following things:</p>

<ol>
<li>python2.7 (64 bit)    </li>
<li>pywin32.exe. (64 bit)</li>
</ol>

<p>However, the script is not able to find the following things:</p>

<ol>
<li>win32event.CreateEvent</li>
<li>win32event.WAIT_OBJECT_0</li>
<li>win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, 5000)</li>
<li>win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)</li>
<li>win32event.SetEvent</li>
</ol>

<p>Though I am not getting any error messages for import but I am getting error messages for the aforementioned functions.</p>

<pre><code>import win32service  
import win32serviceutil  
import win32event

# Control Manager (SCM)  
_svc_display_name_ = "Python Test Service"  
# this text shows up as the description in the SCM  
_svc_description_ = "This service writes stuff to a file"  

def __init__(self, args):  
    win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self,args)

    rc = None

    while rc != win32event.WAIT_OBJECT_0:  
        f.write('TEST DATA\n')  
        f.flush()  
        # block for 5 seconds and listen for a stop event  
        rc = win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, 5000)

    f.close()

    # fire the stop event  
    win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)
