OK - I'll make a patch for this tomorrow (unless someone pipes up suggesting it's not a great idea, or that ctypes should be used, etc) > >I'd be interested to know why you care though - ie, how will the > behavior > >of your programs depend on that? > > For Genshi I was mucking around with setuptools to create Windows eggs. > My machine at home is an AMD64 box.

Yeah - see recent changes to support cross-compilation in distutils - particularly http://bugs.python.org/issue2513, and a grep for 'plat_name' in Distutils/command might also help. > So from what I gather we have no unique way to refer to 32-bits or 64- > bits Python aside from the semi-adequate platform.architecture()[0]. >From the above, it's not clear what problem you have other than arranging for >setuptools to select the correct binaries and generate an egg with a >distinction in the filename.
