Hi, I need some help with a python service.

I have a service written in Python. What I need to do is to pass it some arguments. Let me give you an example to explain it a bit better.

Lets say I have a service, that does nothing but writes something to a log. I'd like to write the same thing into the log several times, so I use a loop. I would like to pass the counter for the loop when I start the service, but I have no idea how. I start the service with:

win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(WinService)

I'm looking for something like

win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(WinService,10)

I don't really care how its done, as long as I can pass arguments to it. Have been trying to get this to work for the better part of the day with no luck. Also, the service isn't run directly, but is imported and then run from there.
