This rather sounds to me that you've compiled python-ldap for 64-bit platform
but the Python interpreter you're using is a 32-bit build.

It seems that to that you should really clean up your system. You're mixing
build platforms, Python versions, python-ldap etc. That's a big mess.

Especially you should read and understand about how DistUtils are working (the
link I've posted before).

Ciao, Michael.
