There are two things that may be:

1.  Did you run "setup.py install"?  The built module is not installed by default.

2.  The module is built -- try going into the build directory, and then a
directory called something like
"lib.win32.-2.0".**  Copy all the files in that directory into your pythonpath (or
open up a python interpreter in that directory).  The import should then work.

** This directory name is approximate.
