This was selected as Best Answer IronPython is a version of Python integrated tightly into the .NET framework. Srikanth is correct, there is no way to run 64 bit code in a 32 bit enviornment short of using a virtual 64 bit machine, and attempting that poses a set of headaches all its own. If your question is whether a Python app running in a 64 bit .NET enviroment can access both the libs in the server framework and some ActiveX DLLs, the answer is yes, but only by jumping through some hoops.
