The plan is to leave 32bit windows alone - it will continue to return 'win32' > (I suggest win32-x86, win64-x86 and win64-ia, but as I don't plan on > using more than one of them, I don't particularly care. > win32, (or was > that win-32?,) win-x64 and win-ia64 seem fine, if that's what > gets chosen.) I'd be inclined to agree if 32bit windows was also up for a change - but I see no good reason to do that, and a number of bad ones. It does mean there will be a slight inconsistency in the names, but I think we can live with that - ie: pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.msi pywin32-211.win-x64-py2.5.msi pywin32-211.win-ia64-py2.5.msi Would be the names pywin32 uses for the relevant platforms, and although there is an extra dash in the 64bit versions, I think it looks quite reasonable.
