[python-win32] Service not seen in Services list on XP?

[Larry Bates]

To get my services to show up I do following:

python servicescript.py install

After that I can start by:

python servicescript.py start

or by using Windows servicemanager.

I've done several services and they have all worked
properly when installed/run using this method.  I 
have also used py2exe to create .exe for services
but the method for installing, starting/stopping is
a little different for them and the eventlog handling
is a little "tricky".

I am working on a windows service with info from Chapter 18
of Mark Hammond's book, Python Programming on Win32.
The OS is Windows XP Pro. 

I can register and start the service by running the script
with command line arguments install and start respectively.
The event viewer shows the logs properly. 

I do not see PythonService or my service in the Services panel.
I want the service to be auto started and start/stop available
from the services panel. 

What is going on?
