You can import ctypes.wintypes only in Windows. (ctypes.wintypes contains windows specific data types.)

Windows:

>>> import ctypes.wintypes >>>

Linux:

>>> import ctypes.wintypes Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/wintypes.py", line 23, in <module> class VARIANT_BOOL(_SimpleCData): ValueError: _type_ 'v' not supported >>>
