Is that ("incorrect function") really the error you are getting?
Can you post the actual traceback, if it's not?  

I get either of these when playing with DeviceIoControl, but not
what you showed:

>>> win32file.DeviceIoControl(3, 0x98000001, '', 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pywintypes.api_error: (6, 'DeviceIoControl', 'The handle is invalid.')
>>> from socket import *
>>> s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s.fileno()
32
>>> win32file.DeviceIoControl(32, 0x98000001, '', 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pywintypes.api_error: (87, 'DeviceIoControl', 'The parameter is incorrect.')
