    IOError in windows service

    Hi all

    I have a script (attached) that creates a windows service. Basically the
    service periodically runs a program 'program.exe'. This all works fine,
    but during testing I discovered that if I include any 'print' statements
    (used to debug the service when its run in 'debug' mode), when _not_ in
    debug mode, it throws an error:

    <error>
    The instance's SvcRun() method failed
    File "C:\Python25\Li b\site-packages\win32\ lib\win32servic eutil.py",
    line 785, in SvcRun
    self.SvcDoRun()
    File "C:\Program Files\Program\M yService.py", line 28, in SvcDoRun
    print "Entering while loop..."
    <type 'exceptions.IOE rror'>: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')
    </error>

    I have removed the 'print' statements, after which the service runs
    fine, but was just curious to find out the reason for this error.

    Regards

    Nicol
