So used to google, forgot to check the python docs:

http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html

and this should be useful as well, which is from:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5030362/how-to-use-opencv-in-python

  "I suspect you have the same problem I've run into. If you have a 64-bit
version of Python, it cannot load 32-bit DLLs. OpenCV currently only ships
32-bit binaries. If you want 64-bit .pyd and .dll files, you have to
compile them yourself. There are some
instructions<http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B>on the
OpenCV Wiki, but it's not for the faint of heart. Expect to have a
substantial time investment.

The easiest solution is to:

   1. Uninstall 64-bit Python
   2. Install a 32-bit distribution.

The PythonXY distribution includes pyopencv -- a good set of OpenCV hooks.
The only limitation is that it's 32-bit, so don't make plans to process
gigapixel astronomy data with it! ;)

If you *must* have the 64-bit version, follow these
instructions<http://redkiing.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/opencv-and-visual-studio-2010-with-cmake/>to
get it OpenCV to compile with Visual Studio 2010. There's a discussion
on stackoverflow that describes building 64-bit apps with VC Express."


And again, check on the pywin mailing list
