That will return "AMD64" on 64 bit. I don't have a 32-bit machine
available but I believe it returns "x86".
This suggestion will not work for the OP.
It will tell you the platform, for which python was compiled and not the
real platform of the machine you're running on.
If you installed a 32 bit version of python on a 64 bit machine You will
get 'x86', which would be the wrong answer considering the OP's
requirements.
This is false.
platform.machine() is about the the computer itself - I fixed it in
2.6 to function properly, as it used to operate similar to
platform.architecture() due to looking in the wrong place.
platform.architecture() is about how Python was compiled.
Cool - that is good to know! However, like gelonida, on 2.6 (and from a
2 week old hg build which is reporting itself as 2.6.7+) I don't see the
behaviour you suggest:
% py -2.6-32 -c "import platform, sys; print sys.version; print
platform.machine()"
2.6.7+ (unknown, Feb 20 2012, 09:54:27) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
x86
but it does work as you describe in 3.3:
% py -3.3-32 -c "import platform, sys; print(sys.version);
print(platform.machine())"
3.3.0a0 (default, Jan 28 2012, 15:39:56) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
AMD64
