failing to import ctypes on windows 7

Question

Any ideas why do I get this errorת while trying import ctypes:

>>> from ctypes import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module> from ctypes import * File "C:/Python27\ctypes.py", line 3, in <module> libc = ctypes.windll.msvcrt AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'windll'

"C:/Python27\ctypes.py" indicates you have some stray ctypes.py in that path that is loaded instead of the standard library ctypes module (which should be Lib/ctypes/__init__.py essentially)

That file tries to load ctypes (again), ending up loading itself (more or less).

Remove/Rename that file.
