OK. I think I can help here. WMI is a COM/DCOM-based technology.
Windows services are inherently multithreaded. Therefore you need to
Initialize a COM threading model specifically even though you're not
really using threads yourself.

Try putting:

import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize ()

somewhere before the line which instantiates the WMI
object (the one you quoted above).

I have no idea why this usually manifests itself as a
"Syntax Error" but it does!
