In general, using a 32 bit Python + PyWin32 works just fine on 64 bit Windows. However there are a couple of very specific things that require a 64 bit build of Python and PyWin32 (and any other extensions) when running on a 64 bit server. One is running an ISAPI web server extension like iis_wsgi. (Running iis_wsgi may also require a tweak to Python 2.6.5's extension compiling file to fix the inclusion of Visual C runtime in the DLL manifest, but that's a bug/issue in Python, not PyWin32.) The other (I'm not 100% certain about this) is writing a Windows Explorer extension in Python. There may be a few other odds and ends like that which require 64 bit, but if you don't use / need those features, then you don't need to have 64 bit Python. I haven't seen any problems resulting from 64 bit deployment. It works great for me. Hope this helps, Preston
