Py2exe - Bad File Descriptor

[T]

I have a Python script, which is a Windows Service, that I created an
EXE of via py2exe. As part of the program, it calls some external
binaries, one of which restarts the computer. When I'm logged in,
this works fine. However, if I log out, the service stops and logs
the following error in the Event Log:

<type 'exceptions.IOError'>:(9, 'Bad file descriptor')

Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Sorry for the lack of code - yes, it does try to write to the
console. From what I'm finding, this error may be due to the fact
that there is no "console" to write to when I'm logged off. However,
I would like to be able to print to screen if I run the EXE in debug
mode (i.e. "myservice.exe debug"). Do you know of any way around
this? Also, I need to get the output generated from an external EXE -
will subprocess.Popen cause problems if I use stdout=PIPE? Thanks for
your help!

So how would that work..would the program buffer all the "print"
output, then send it to the client when it connects? Do you happen to
know of any available code that utilizes this method, or something
similar? Thanks for your help.
