Hello,
Is it possible to tell windows to wait a python service has started

Probably not, but why would you want to implement something that
does? Share your use case with us and perhaps we can be of more
assistance.
Have a look at this thread from earlier this year:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2008-June/007686.html
(which the OP contributed to, by the look of it)
But I don't think, in the general case, that it's possible.
OP: weren't you trying to do something fancy with GINA or
something similar last year? Was it successful?

Yes, I was trying to intercept user's logon. I've done it using userinit
registry key, a python NT service and a python service running on the PDC.
My problem is also that the service has to be available at logon time to
do some administrative stuff.
It seems that the policy "gpedit" > Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ "Always wait for
the network at computer startup and logon" (registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon : SyncForegroundPolicy=1) can help me.
Putting a loop to wait the service is up can also be a good idea.
