Message 'No module name 'pywintypes' when importing win32com.client

[mwhite62]

When I try to run a script that imports win32com.client, I get the error message No module named 'pywintypes'. If I run the same script directly from the python command line, the script completes successfully. Is there a problem with win32com.client specifically with IronPython? I have confirmed I have pywin installed as well as pypiwin installed.

I think pywintypes is a C extension module and so doesn't work with IronPython.
