Is it possible to stop a windows service with sikuli?

I have tried searching the python documentation and the answers launchpad answers as well as google but just cant seem to find if its possible, maybe that means its not?

I have a service I want to stop so that i can delete a folder that contains that files that are using that service. I have a script that deletes a folder in windows but we have since made a change and added a service that runs and I can no longer delete the folder since files in that folder are using a service thats running.

I can see that in newer versions of Python there are modules such as win32serviceutil but we dont have access to that unfortunately with Sikuli.

does the OS module support this? or subprocess?

Id rather not have to automate this with clicks and dialogs of the service.msc but I suppose thats a work around if I have to.

Thanks for any and all help!
