Can't debug pywin32 service

I'm trying to debug my service with PythonService.exe and I get a strange error:

PS C:\Users\rs_al\Dev\PyXLSQL> py serviceapp.py install
Installing service pyxlsql
Changing service configuration
Service updated
PS C:\Users\rs_al\Dev\PyXLSQL> py serviceapp.py debug
Debugging service pyxlsql - press Ctrl+C to stop.
Error 0xC0000004 - Python could not import the service's module

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'w32service'

(null): (null)

Project structure

serviceapp.py
    w32service\
               __init__.py
               service.py

And if I move whole code from service.py into serviceapp.py I can debug it without issues.

EDIT:

gui.py
gui\
    __init__.py
    menu.py
    pageone.py
    pagetwo.py
    pagethree.py

And it perfectly works as *.py or .*exe

Python interpreter doesn't know where to look for your w32service module (package). One way would be to add its path to [Python 3.Docs]: Modules - The Module Search Path (before importing it):

import sys
import os
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

from w32service.service import WinService

# ...

To make things clearer, use print(sys.path) before importing anything (well, except sys) to see where is the Python searching for modules.
