Expected behavior and actual behavior

servicemanager.LogInfoMsg() causes Python 3.12 and Python 3.13 to crash.
Python 3.11 works normally.

Tested version: 308

Steps to reproduce the problem

import servicemanager
servicemanager.LogInfoMsg('123')

System information

Python version and distribution: Python 3.12, Python 3.13

pywin32 version: 308

Windows Version: Windows 10

I can't replicate on Python 3.12.6, but can on 3.13.0
And the message is still sent before the interpreter crash. No error event though.

This is my screenshot:

Anyway, this piece of code does the same without crashing
`
import win32evtlog
import win32evtlogutil

def event_log(msg):
source = 'Python Service'
event_id = 255
win32evtlogutil.ReportEvent(source, event_id, eventType=win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, strings=[msg])
`

I just came to check to see if a new release was cut which includes #2426, sadly the answer is no :(

But I did notice this issue, hence this comment. Which might lead to a new release being cut, or get an ETA? @mhammond

If you really need to, you can download a wheel from the artefacts from the latest pushes to main: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/actions/workflows/main.yml?query=event%3Apush+is%3Asuccess+branch%3Amain

Testing with the latest build artefact I'm no longer getting a crash on Python 3.13

I think this issue can be closed now, right?

Yeah, this should be included in 309-310
