Is there? I wasn't aware of that. What's the reason?

If it's because ctypes doesn't work on all platforms, then
I don't think that applies in this case, because the only
platform where it would be needed is Windows, where ctypes
does work.

Pywin32 does seem to have grown rather haphazardly. Some
functionality is wrapped in two different ways in different
modules, for no apparently good reason, and some other
things are wrapped incompletely or not at all. A well
thought out replacement suitable for stdlib inclusion
wouldn't go amiss.
