pywinservice, running a simple Python script as a windows service

• [How-to] (https://follow-e-lo.com/2018/08/16/pywinservice-running-a-simpe-python-script-as-a-windows-service/)

v 1.1

Getting Started

Make an env
Make a script i.e like run.py
Test this:
Make a bat file, that will be started when the service starts (i.e 3 party libraries will start) activate the env: ~\pywinservice\Scripts\activate.bat

~\pywinservice\Scripts\activate.bat

Call the Python script file, ie run.py python app\run.py runserver

python app\run.py runserver

If test is success, install the service with Nssm:

* [Nssm] (https://nssm.cc/download) - NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager

nssm install, navigate to your bat file, give the service a name

nssm install

Start the service with the name you made

### Note: This is just a quick and dirty way to run Python scripts as a windows service, but heey, it works and you can automate a lot of scripts!
