Use pywin32. A tutorial was written (in 2005 mind you) here about how one might do that.

Make sure win32 api is installed. Basically, you subclass the BasicNTService. The win32 package docs has some more information. I also have a working example in some code I wrote that does this. WindowsServer.py that also mixes in Pyro for a Python remote control agent.

A combination of cx_freeze and srvany could do the job.

See this for srvany usage (replace dropbox with your exe)
