Perhaps you don't have Mark Hammond's win32all add-on.  It's included with 
ActiveState's distribution, but not the standard python.org distribution.  
Once you get that (look on python.org on the download page for a Windows 
link) and install it, there is a script that will register Python with IIS. 
Look in the win32com help file for instructions; but, it should direct you 
to run pyscript.py which (by default) is located in:

PYTHON_HOME\win32comext\axscript\client

Where PYTHON_HOME is the location of your Python installation.

Good luck!
