Service: path to .py script

Hi,

I have a testservice.py (see below). I installed the service
successfully. (via commandlineoption install)
The problem is that it runs only when it is in
c:\windows\system32 or in
the python path.
I added the desired path (Y:\) to the PYTHONPATH
environment variable
for the system account and rebooted.
When I start command line python and do a import testservice
everything
is fine.
Starting the service with the script only in Y:\ gives the
error in the
event log:

Python could not import the service's module

exceptions.ImportError: No module named testservice

Thanks for your help.

testservice.py:

import sys

class TestPipeService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
    _svc_name_ = "MDE Dispatcher"
    _svc_display_name_ = "MDE-Dispatcher"
    _svc_description_ = "Dispatches machine events
from the Siemens ODC
to registrered MDE clients (windows) over the network via
XML-RPC"
    def __init__(self, args):
        win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self,
args)
        self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0,
None)

    def SvcStop(self):
       
self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
        win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)


    def SvcDoRun(self):
        # Write an event log record - in debug mode we will

Is Y: a mappyed network drive?  If so, the problem will be
that the mapping
does not exist for the service account (and if you are using
LocalSystem, it
will not be possible/sensible to add it)
