I also had the same problem with the ctypes 0.9.9.6 module from the ctypes project. I couldn't load the .pyd file directly either regardless of the location of the file.
Changing to the ctypes module from the pythonce project made the problem go away for me as well. I did notice in the ctypes project that there are explicit releases for 2.3 and 2.4 for win32, but there is only one release for wince-arm, and no idication if it's for 2.3 or 2.4. Is there any way to tell what version of Python a particular .pyd file is built for without installing different python versions?
