Yes you do, because ctypes is part of the standard Python library.
And ctypes lets you access Win32api. See:

http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#module-ctypes

for examples.

As to your problem, it sounds like a permissions thing, are you sure you 
are running it as the same user in Python and from the DOS box?
