PythonWindowsService

I've implemented this code using Pycharm with Python 3.11.

This service will write to a log file every 5 seconds, located [ActualServicePath]\Logs\PythonWindowsService.log

Install the following dependencies

pip install pywin32

pip install pyinstaller

Compile your code into a executable (this will create a \dist folder in you project folder with a PythonWindowsService.exe)

pyinstaller --onefile --hidden-import=win32timezone --clean PythonWindowsService.py

In a new command line (note to change you binPath to your actual path)

sc create "Python Windows Service" binPath="Z:\PythonWindowsService\dist\PythonWindowsService.exe"

To change the description of you service

sc description "Python Windows Service" "Example Python Service"

To start the Windows Service

sc start "Python Windows Service"

To stop the Windows Service

sc stop "Python Windows Service"

To delete the Windows Service

sc delete "Python Windows Service"
