First, this mailing list is for the development of the python language,
not for development with python.
Please ask this kind of questions on the comp.lang.python newsgroup.

Then, your problem is not related to python at all. The same call from
any other program would return the same error.
A quick google search gave:
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Development/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging/2007-04/msg00036.html
which describes the same problem (and a solution)

Otherwise you are welcome ;-)
