I don't think you can have both running on the same machine.
If I remember correctly, you can have two different installations of Python on a machine, but you can only have one installation of pywin32 (or 64).


On Softimage's download site, the description of the Python 64bit installer says this:
"Extensions to run Python on the Windows 64-bit operating system. You must first install the Win64 Python version from www.ActiveState.com (ActivePython-2.4.3.12-win64-x64-nopywin32.msi). Will not work on a machine already running ActivePython for 32-bit."


I believe the other way around is also true. Once you have the 64bit installed, the 32bit will not work.

This is a shame.

I have python installed for 64bit so i can run some python scripts in xsi 64bit. But what if I want to run python in both xsi 32 and 64 bit? Right now, python plugins don't run on my 32 bit flavor of xsi.
