Chiming in late here, but I've been running a very simple Python service 
for some time now on a number of computers.  It's my Raw Print Server, 
available at 
http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/rawprintserver.html, and I have 
instructions on the page for installing the Windows service version. 
It's really quite simple to do in plain Python; the only reason to use 
py2exe is if you don't want to install a full Python interpreter on the 
computer.  But since I generally do anyway, it doesn't matter to me.
