How to run flask framework scripts build in python 3.6.4 as a windows service

Question

I am currently trying for a python script written in Flask framework to implement and run as a windows service.

Have tried using different solutions like as below link: http://www.chrisumbel.com/article/windows_services_in_python

But getting same windows error:

D:\>python PySvc.py start
Starting service PySvc
Error starting service: The service did not respond to the start or control 
request in a timely fashion.

Kindly assist me, as i am not able to proceed on this.

Depending on what your requirements are, I think you should have a look at NSSM , it is a great tool to run python scripts as a service on Windows.

You can set up NSSM like this:

nssm.exe install MyPythonScriptService

Then, a dialogbox will pop up: Dialog Box

There are 3 fields that you need to fill in:

Application Path: C:\Python32\python.exe
Startup Directory: C:\Path\To\My\Python\Script\
Arguments: C:\Path\To\My\Python\Script\script.py

And then, hit Install service. Go to services.msc and make sure your service is up and running.
