Yes, I have found out how to make the process to behave more like an
ordinary python process, but I need to pop up a console window or
something similar that let's me inspect the python code. I first
thought about using PyCrust for this, but the service I am running in
fails to import wxPython.wx. I'll have a look at Python Programming on
Win32. I think it had something on creating a python console in a
running program.

I've also had a look at the HapDebugger. It seems pretty nice, I am
looking into how to embedd the client side of it into an multithreaded
application that calls python functions instead of running a single
script. It doesn't seem that undoable, I'll see where it leads me.
