this is your problem, you are trying to use a normal "C" dll library inside 
python. you can only "import" normal python files, and special python 
libraries. what you need is a "python wrapper", which is a special library 
that makes the normal FMOD functions work in python. i currently don't 
think there is a wrapper for FMOD, which means you won't be able to use 
FMOD from python.

as an alternative, you might be able to use pygame. pygame has a couple 
modules for playing sounds, music, and audio cds. depending on what you 
need to do, pygame might also be overkill?

unfortunately, there are no pygame binaries for python-2.0 at the moment 
(only 2.1 and 2.2). take a look at pygame, and if it seems like something 
you'd want to try, let me know, and i'll compile it for windows and 
python-2.0. http://www.pygame.org

good luck with python!
