I can say for certain that Python 3.5.1 will install as 64-bit as that's what I'm personally running on the Windows 10 laptop that I'm writing this email on.
If you look at https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-351/ you will notice there are explicit 64-bit installers that you can use. Did you get your copy of Python by going straight to python.org/download and clicking the yellow "Download Python 3.5.1" button?
