Why, when running the installed Python 2.7.13 ( Windows x86-64 MSI installer ), the environment gives information about the version of the following:

Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) [MSC c.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 ?

The system under which I run: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 . But why the environment does not support x64, and writes ... on win32 ? Also, when I run my program, I see in time for execution that there is no x64 support, and it works as long as on a 32-bit system.

What installer should I use to have full x64 support? Is it possible, except installing Python 3 to do nothing more?

  • >>> import platform >>> platform. architecture () [0] What does it give? - nick_gabpe
  • @nick_gabpe gives out 64bit - Denis Leonov
  • You have 64bit Python - nick_gabpe

Python 2.7.13 - Python version

(v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) - revision number and build time

[MSC c.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] - compiled using MSC compiler for 64 bit platform

on win32 - you are on the Windows platform (regardless of the number of bits)
