windows service problem

[JackPhil]

i code a very simple web server with python, and i want it should run
as service on WindowsXP.

the problem is i can run the service in debug mode, and it seems works
fine(i can connect the server with browser), but when i start the
service in the services control panel, i can't connect the server, the
server seems not start, and i can't stop the service.

any advice?

Make sure it doesn't output anything to stdout or stderr, I've run into
problems with that. I always include this kind of code in NT services:

class Devnull:
def write(self, bf):
pass
def close(self):
pass
def flush(self):
pass

sys.stdout = sys.stderr = Devnull()
