I assume you've kept the relative locations in the sys.path such as 'python', 'mods/bd2/python' and 'admin' as these are battlefield specific libraries it will try to load? Failing that, try the 32 bit version - maybe BF2 always runs a 32bit Python regardless of which version the game is running. So sounds like you've done everything correctly.

Failing that, try the 32 bit version - maybe BF2 always runs a 32bit Python regardless of which version the game is running. So sounds like you’ve done everything correctly. I assume you’ve kept the relative locations in the sys.path such as ‘python’, ‘mods/bd2/python’ and ‘admin’ as these are battlefield specific libraries it will try to load? Failing that, try the 32 bit version – maybe BF2 always runs a 32bit Python regardless of which version the game is running.

Have you replaced (or linked) the libdice_py.so in the Battlefield directory with your own and editing the __init__.py? If that's all done, there might be an issue with replacing a 32-bit Python with a 64-bit one (which is what your directory names suggest) so that could be the cause. What exactly have you changed?
