I can't *find* a win32service.py in my distribution. Are you *sure* it's
including the .pyd file I mention as well as the expected
win32serviceutil.py? If so then I'm stumped and you'll have to ask somebody
more familiar with installer+win32all.

The reason I suspect this is because the log message formats are usually
stored in a .dll or a .exe, and you imply you are already seeing
pythonservice.exe carried across as part of your distribution.
