The aem and appscript modules are 64-bit clean. The osax module will  
only work on 64-bit if you use static glues instead of fetching  
terminology dynamically. aemreceive's sfba module is 32-bit only; the  
rest should work on 64-bit, though hasn't been tested.

aemreceive should do if you don't need to implement an Apple Event  
Object Model. Work through the tutorials, and if it's still not clear  
then ask. If you plan on implementing an AEOM, look into Cocoa  
Scripting - it's a bit of a clunker (and has been since 10.2), but  
it's better than nothing.
