As has been pointed out there is a descriptive name and an internal
name. To find out both names (and other info; see docs) for all services
use:

>>> import win32service
>>> SC= win32service.OpenSCManager("", None,
win32service.SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS)
>>> services= win32service.EnumServicesStatus(SC)
>>> print services
