Meador Inge added the comment:

Using 'ctypes.wintypes' on non-Windows systems is most likely a bad idea.  Most 
of the types are defined in terms of the types for the target that the 
interpreter is built for.  Comparing serializations thereof in a cross platform 
manner doesn't make sense for a lot of cases.  

I really think it is only useful for Windows platforms and allowing it to 
silently import is misleading.
