All of the commands below were executed in cmd.exe running in elevated
mode (as administrator):

c:\Users\Laci\Python\Projects\gateway>service_test.py install
Installing service TestService
Service installed

c:\Users\Laci\Python\Projects\gateway>sc qc TestService
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: TestService
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        START_TYPE         : 3   DEMAND_START
        ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
        BINARY_PATH_NAME   :
"C:\Users\Laci\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\win32\PythonService.exe"
        LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   :
        TAG                : 0
        DISPLAY_NAME       : Test Service
        DEPENDENCIES       :
        SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem



It seems to be the correct executable:

c:\Users\Laci\Python\Projects\gateway>py -3
Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:18:55) [MSC v.1900 64
bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'C:\\Users\\Laci\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python35\\python.exe'

The service starts to fail in any way:

* service_test.py start
* net start testservice
* from the services.msc with the start button

The error message suggest that the service does not respont to the start
request.

The MWE I provided is so simple. By now, It should be obvious what is
missing from it. :-(
