You need to build your module for a 32-bit version of Python.

On a 64-bit system, each process is either 32-bit or 64-bit process. You
can't mix 32-bit code and 64-bit code in a single process. If you have to
use that library and you only have a 32-bit version of it, then everything
else must also be 32-bit: the Python interpreter, your binary module, and
all of the libraries which it uses.
