Error while loading strategy in Python (Desktop IDE)

Hi team,

I'm encountering the following bug while running a sample strategy in python.

20170724 00:19:14 ERROR:: Loader.TryCreatePythonAlgorithm():  System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
   at Python.Runtime.Runtime.Py_IsInitialized()
   at Python.Runtime.Runtime.Initialize()
   at Python.Runtime.PythonEngine.Initialize(IEnumerable`1 args, Boolean setSysArgv)
   at Python.Runtime.PythonEngine.Initialize()
   at QuantConnect.AlgorithmFactory.Loader.TryCreatePythonAlgorithm(String assemblyPath, IAlgorithm& algorithmInstance, String& errorMessage) in C:\Lean\AlgorithmFactory\Loader.cs:line 164

Is it someting to do with my python installation?

I'm having Python 2.7 (32-bit) and Python 3.4 (64 bit) both installed on my machine.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Please install the 64 bit of python 2.7.
The library we use to integrate python and C# (pythonnet) was compiled in 64 bit.
