As you mention, 32bit apps querying the registry get redirected in some cases -
but so long as the 32bit bdist_wininst stub is used, that too will get

to install an x64 version of reportlab on a 32bit python?

I'm a bit puzzled about this as well, they mentioned something about the python
being embedded so perhaps that's the problem. I am trying to ascertain the exact
context.
I found out that although the end users had installed the amd64 python they were
using reportlab-2.4.win32-py2.6.exe which is 32 bit. That complained until they
fixed everything up by brute force registry copying. Fortunately, I don't think
the pyds are importable and reportlab is robust enough to fall back to a working
state even without those.
