Module servicemanager
A module that interfaces with the Windows Service Control Manager. While this
module can be imported by regular Python programs, it is only useful when used by a Python program
hosting a service - and even then is generally used automatically by the Python Service framework.
See the pipeTestService sample for an example of using this module.
The module win32service and win32serviceutil
provide other facilities for controlling
and managing services.
