I have my project installed as a windows service and everything worked smoothly. I had some errors with using venv and pywin32, but eventually figuret that out. Stackoverflow link
However when I use pyinstaller to make onefile executable from it problems start occuring.
I use following command to create executable:
[Path_to_my_venv_pyinstaller] --onefile --hidden-import win32timezone myservice.py
Then I am executing it from cmd with install arg, service is installed.
However next step, executing it with start arg fails. Error message:
Starting service [Service_Name]
Error starting service: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
So I tried debugging it with ``debug``` argument. It works normally, when I install service without executable, from source files. When service is installed from executable I am getting following error.
Debugging service [Service_Name] - press Ctrl+C to stop.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "[Service]\[Service_Folder]\service.py", line 48, in <module>
File "lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 640, in HandleCommandLine

AttributeError: module 'servicemanager' has no attribute 'Debugging'
[14252] Failed to execute script service
I found similar topic on stack, unanswered, link here. So the problem indeed lays in installing service from pyinstaller executable.
I have no idea, how to track error on this, Event Viewer does not display anything more than i could see from console.
Is there other way to debug a service?
