MCIHAL WILTON‌ As far as I remember ArcPy has gone to 64bit only with Version 10.2. For ArcGIS 9.3 it was still 32 bit and you need to have installed a 64 bit Python which will not work. You should rather install 32 bit version of Python to work with ArcPy (ArcGIS 9.3). A clean install would be the best this to do and ESRI provides are the necessary softwares.

You should stick with the version of python that is used by 9.3, you are asking for a lot of trouble to try to use a newer of version of python when nothing will be gained.10.x uses 2.7 and 10.3 uses python 3.4 if I am not mistaken
