Creating a Windows Service for ZEO

[gouthambs]

A new thread for discussing ZEO service for Windows.

Here is a gist that summarizes my attempt.

Before I can add it I want to see if some one can help me with some issues. The service installs and starts, but for some reason doesn't have a stop capability. Not sure if it is ZEO specific. Wonder if someone can help.

Here is a working version of ZEO running as a windows service.

Basically I use a lot of the code present in runzeo.py. I have just wrapped it as a service using PyWin32.

How would you like me to contribute into ZEO code base?

I'd like you to release this as a separate package to PyPI.

Announce it on the ZODB mailing list and see if other people
find it useful. There's no reason why it has to be part of ZEO.
