Well, that's because what I said was not correct...

The service name is passed to PythonService.exe (as a parameter to the
ServiceMain callback).  PythonService then goes out to the matching key
in the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\service_name)
and gets the value from the PythonClass default value.  That's how it
knows which file to load and which class to instantiate.
