I have always accomplished this by appending the system path in the code
before calling any external packages.  It is best to maintain a separate
install of python 2.6 and any modules you might wish to use.

Try this:
import sys

sys.path.append('C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/win32')

import win32api
