Remember that you have the full source code to win32serviceutil.py in
your Python distribution.  You can go look it up.  SvcDoRun is called
from win32serviceutil.py.  You'll see that it is called from
ServiceFramework.SvcRun with no parameters:
    self.SvcDoRun()

SvcRun is called in response to a message from the Service Control
Manager, so there's really no place to make a modification like that.  I
think you need to keep doing what you are doing.
