This issue is not fully fixed, there are some occasions where you can still run into it. One example is if you want to spawn a new multiprocessing.Process as sub process in a multiprocessing.Process:


pythonservice.exe
  - multiprocessing.Process
    - multiprocessing.Process (does not start!)

In this case you get:

  WINSERVICE: False
  WINEXE: False
  _python_exe: C:\Python27\python.exe
  prep data: {'authkey': '...', 'sys_path': [...], 'name': 'test', 'orig_dir': '...', 'sys_argv': ['C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\PythonService.exe'], 'main_path': 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\PythonService.exe', 'log_to_stderr': False}
