You can fetch the tsctl-win32.py from
<http://simon.bofh.ms/cgi-bin/cvsweb/Toolserver/tsctl-win32.py?rev=1.7&
content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>

Look down in the last lines, where it builds the statement to execute
the actual program and change the 'tsctl' to 'pyds-start'. Two other
changes are the assignments to _svc_name and _svc_display_name that
should be changed from TooFPy to PyDS. And the script should be called
pyds-win32.py. Afterwards you can install your service with "python
pyds-win32.py install" and then should be able to do "net start pyds" to
start your PyDS service.

This is all in theory, I don't run PyDS on any windows machine (and the
windows machines where I have access to are production servers that
won't ever see a PyDS ;-) ), so it's not tested.
