Not sure if I got the problem you are describing exactly but what
about doing the opposite direction? Make a very simple socket program
for Windows that is launched and this program connects to your python
application instead. When python notices the connection it is sure
that wineserver is running because it just received the connection
from an app running inside Wine. Also as long as this small utility is
up wineserver won't close too.

Best wishes,
