I stand corrected: Though there is no 64bit PostgreSQL for Windows yet, 
thanks to EnterpriseDB there is an installer for a 64bit version of the 
libpq.dll already since some months!

So it should be possible to make PyGreSQL work with 64bit Python under 
Windows. Some fiddling about the proper include files and compiler 
switches will be necessary, however. I have put this on my todo list.
