I've encountered the same problem.
It seems when installing python as one user (I installed it as local
admin on a win2000 box) other users cannot import the win23* packages.

I've gone so far as to remove all references to win32* from my scripts
and replaced them with a set scripts which wrap pstools (executables
that are basically wrappers around WMI).

Subject: Installation as admin, use as normal user fails in Windows XP

I've installed ActivePython as Administrator on WinXP. Then I tried to 
use python as a "normal" user (standard restricted profile). When trying

to do "import win32api" I got the message "module not found". This 
problem seems to persist among several versions of ActivePython. I've 
tried 2.3.2, 2.3.4 and 2.4.0b1. The error message differs, but it seems 
to mean basically the same.

It seems that the bug is in the installer. (I fell back to installing 
Python with the installers from python.org and starship. It works fine 
there.)
