Making the script run as a service is not terribly difficult. Start by Googling for, say, "win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework" to get some sample code. Cut-n-paste should get you there.

On the "separate console" front, I've given up on local, desktop-based solutions and now use a web-based terminal I wrote for use with CherryPy: http://projects.amor.org/misc/wiki/HTTPREPL

Hope that helps,
