I found a solution. If I add e:\Python\DLLs to the PYTHONPATH
environment variable, Windows script is able to import the ctypes
module. I would appear that something has changed in the communication
between Python and the pywin32 package, as I didn't have to do that
previously, and I assume that the change was introduced by the CPython
team, as I'm running the same version of pywin32 (305) now as I was
before the Python upgrade.

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers,
Bob
