There is no pywin64 (yet?).
What do I use pywin32 for ?
I use it for:
.COM programming - Excel automation. There are alternatives for building Excel files without .COM but if you need to invoke Excel macros within your python program, you need .COM.
This is yet another reason to stick to Windows 32 bit for now.

Uhm, no, this is no reason to stick with 32bit windows. Pywin32 seems to work just fine under win64 — and you don’t have to put up with the ridiculous non-reason for not being able to address more than about 3.2 gig of memory (it’s a licensing issue, not an OS capabilities issue — 32bit Linux has done 16 gig memory since the 2.4 days and there’s a hackity hack to get > 4 gig addressable (but only 2 gig per process) on win32… but I digress).
Trust me. Win7 64bit is what you want. Leave 32bit OSes where they belong: in the past.
