It should.  The isapi extensions in pywin32 are quite stable and very much
alive.  I'd be happy to help address any ISAPI specific issues that are
found.

Yeah - pywin32 comes with an ISAPI 'stub'.  When a specific extension is
installed, that stub is copied and delegates to a Python module with the
same name.  In the pywin32 isapi/samples directory, you will find a trivial
little 'proxy' application you can experiment with.
