it destilles down that 64bit PostgreSQL needs a 64bit Python installation on
the machine, as plpython.dll pulls in python26.dll; which is found within
the path.

I installed Python (64bit edition) in parallel to an existing 32bit version,
and the 32bit keeps working despite the c:\windows\system32\python26.dll is
a 64bit library ...

(at least up to now)

PostgreSQL accepts the createlang command for plpython when Python 64 bit is
present.
