Unable to import win32com - ImportError: cannot import name win32api

We are trying to use the win32com to call printer sdk as below:

from win32com.client import Dispatch  
objPrinter = Dispatch(‘Dymo.DymoAddIn’)  
print(objPrinter.GetDymoPrinters())

That would require a C DLL. Not going to work. Jython runs in java, which only accepts DLLs that follow java’s JNI rules. Jython can run python libraries that are version-compatible and are pure python. Otherwise, you will need a java library instead. Does dymo have a java API ?
