Are you sure you get a single directory separator backslash there?

I suggest using the os.path 'join' function, whatever it was called.

But is that where the DLL resides, or is it in some subdirectory?

Try also checking the arguments & documentation of ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary. I 
know, you probably already done that. But I mention it just in case (I'm not 
familiar with that function at the Python level, so don't know about the args).
