Are you asking about buildbots only or as a general policy? If you are asking about the buildbots then I definitely think we should use 64 bits. If you are asking about policy I would say it should be an option in case people are using C extensions that are not designed to work with 64 bits. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
