It's been compiled for 64-bit processors, so it uses 64-bit pointers
and 64-bit small integers. And I would think it would only work w/ C

extension libraries also compiled for 64-bit CPUs. So, the same
meaning 64-bit has for anything else really.
A 64bit build of Python

While Chris' answer is correct, it doesn't show the consequences
of using a 64-bit Python. Primarily, these are:
- strings, Unicode objects, lists, dicts, and tuples can have more than
2**31 elements.
- you can load 64-bit DLLs
