Usually, with a COM server, the bit size of your Python must match the bit size of your COM server.  So, you'd need to use 64-bit Python to call a 64-bit COM server.  (Note thet pywin32 is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Pythons.)

However, the Office applications are out-of-process servers, so there’s a proxy in the middle, and that should let it work.
