Mark, 
thanks for your answer, but at the moment  I am fighting with win32 events.
Probably  I will have to deal with accounting later on. 
In the example win32/demos/service/... it is done for named pipes : 
....
hr = ConnectNamedPipe(pipeHandle, self.overlapped)
....
rc = WaitForMultipleObjects((self.hWaitStop, self.overlapped.hEvent),
0,INFINITE)


I want to bind accept() from the socket module to a win32event, so I can
catch if there is a connection to a socket.   Someone told that it might work
with win32file.AcceptEx  but I have no clue how....Is this the right way or am
I totally wrong? 
Ciao Frank

Frank, 
NT Services are rather particular in that by default they start up under the

"Local System" account which does not have access to the network stack. 
Your best bet is to start your service under an account that has been setup 
on the machine with network access.
You can do this by installing the service then in the Service Manager 
Control panel applet, right click on the installed python service and select

properties. This dialog will give you a tab that allows you to specify what 
account (username and password are required) to start the service under. 
When NT starts the service it will use this account. 
NOTE: You do not have to be logged in under this account at the time the 
service starts.
Yes, this is a PITA, but that's life with NT/Win2K.
HTH
