I see others have pointed you to the module, but nobody has
yet told you how you could have found it yourself.

"ctypes" and many other such modules are third-party packages
which do not come with Python itself.  In almost all cases,
you should be able to use Google quite easily to find such
a module by typing "python ctypes" (or substitute the appropriate
name in place of ctypes) in a Google search.  Quite often
the home page of the package (where you'll find instructions
on downloading) will be the first result Google provides.
