win32service.EnumServicesStatus lists services, and ChangeServiceConfig
lets you change the start type to disabled.

import win32service
hscm=win32service.OpenSCManager(None,None,win32service.SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS)
svcs=win32service.EnumServicesStatus(hscm)
for svc in svcs:
    if svc[0]=='PyPipeTestService':
        hsvc=win32service.OpenService(hscm, svc[0], win32service.SERVICE_CHANGE_CONFIG)
        win32service.ChangeServiceConfig(hsvc, win32service.SERVICE_NO_CHANGE,
            win32service.SERVICE_DISABLED, win32service.SERVICE_NO_CHANGE, None, None,0,
            None,None,None,None)
        win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hsvc)
win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hscm)
