But platform.machine() returns a 32 bits machine if you run 32 bits python on 64 bits windows. AFAIK, the only reliable way is to use the win32 API: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/02/01/364563.aspx In scons (where we limit ourself to pure python code ATM), we tried the registry, but this is not reliable (some braindead softwares install WoW64 registry keys even on 32 bits windows). OTOH, I guess not that many applications need this information: after all, the whole point of WoW64 is to virtualize 32 bits applications so that they believe to run on a conventional 32 bits python.
