Answer 1

To conclude:
Win 7 -> x64
Office 2013 -> x86
Your application -> x86
I wonder if the error comes after:
ole_workbook = ole_excel.application.workbooks(1)
or after:
ole_worksheet = ole_workbook.worksheets(1)
The last command could also be written as:
ole_excel.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets[1]
That way ole_workbook = ole_excel.application.workbooks(1) isn't needed...
I wonder why you use ole_workbook = ole_excel.application.workbooks(1). Is there any possibility you will open and work with two workbooks concurrently?
