In general platform.architecture() parses the output of the UNIX "file" command. But on Windows the linkage is hard coded to 'WindowsPE', and bits is the default value calculated from the pointer size in the current process (i.e. python.exe). Use ctypes or PyWin32 instead. ctypes: windll.kernel32.GetBinaryTypeW PyWin32: win32file.GetBinaryType, win32file.SCS_64BIT_BINARY, etc http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364819 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
