Cannot launch python winpexpect library

Question

i try to use winpexpect on windows 7 64bits with python 2.6.

>>> import winpexpect
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\winpexpect-1.6-py2.6.egg\winpexpect.py", l
ine 11, in <module>
    import pywintypes
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 124, in <mo
dule>
    __import_pywin32_system_module__("pywintypes", globals())
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 98, in __im
port_pywin32_system_module__
    raise ImportError("No system module '%s' (%s)" % (modname, filename))
ImportError: No system module 'pywintypes' (pywintypes26.dll)

Or the installation doesn't raise any error:

Extracting winpexpect-1.6-py2.6.egg to c:\python26\lib\site-packages
winpexpect 1.6 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

winpexpect depends on pywin32. You can find install files here.
