Here's an example of it... kludgey but it works ;)

from _winreg import *
import time

def Svc_Description():
     try:
         key_location = r"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\test_py_service"
         svc_key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, key_location, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
         SetValueEx(svc_key,'Description',0,REG_SZ,u"Brad's Test Python Service")
         CloseKey(svc_key)
     except Exception, e:
         print e

Svc_Description()
time.sleep(10)
