Should be mod1 = module('packet')

Should *really* be:
import windll
mod1 = windll.module('packet')

Only use "from .. import *" if you have a really good reason.
If you don't know what qualifies as a "really good reason",
then don't use it at all.

Not sure what you mean by "load both". windll loads calldll already. If 
you're using the windll interface, you don't need calldll.
