You have to fix this first. Probably you can't import anything, not just  
ctypes.
Quoting myself from a similar problem:

Try this:
PyRun_SimpleString("import sys; print sys.path");
to see where Python expects to find its library (or call the Py_GetPath  
function).
You may need to call Py_SetProgramName (before Py_Initialize) so it can  
find where the standard library resides.
At least for testing purposes, you can copy your executable into the same  
directory where Python is installed.
