You should be able to run the service in "debug" mode (ie, as a normal 
program" by using the "--debug" option.  Then you can debug however you 
like.

But assuming you do need to debug as a service, you really need an 
out-of-process debugger, like Komodo and most of the commercial IDEs. 
Pythonwin does *not* do out-of-process debugging, so is no good.
