title: Is there a way to use ibm_db on python 2.7 64-bit on windows?
body: <p>I installed python 2.7 32-bit version and I am able to run <code>pip install ibm_db</code> (current version is 2.0.8), and then call <code>import ibm_db</code> and everything works. When I use python 2.7 64-bit, however, the install via pip works fine, but when I try and <code>import ibm_db</code> I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 20:25:58) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import ibm_db
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;

  ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
  &gt;&gt;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The DLL in question is <code>&lt;site-packages&gt;/ibm_db_dlls/ibm_db.dll</code>, and its there, but when I open it using Dependency Walker, it seems to be the 32 bit version. </p>
  
  <p>Anybody know if there is a 64 bit compatible ibm_db.dll, or a way to make this work? I need this to run in an environment (windows server) with 64 bit python, and I don't have control over the version.</p>
