[Tutor] command to determine of python 32 or 64 bit?
I have a number of binary libraries that are dependent on whether the precompiled python distribution (eg. Enthought, ActiveState, etc) in which they are installed are compiled with 32 or 64 bit. Is there any reliable way to determine at run time whether a python distribution is 32 or 64 bit? If I can determine at runtime then I can set the path for loading of my libraries to something different depending on whether the python is 32 or 64 bit. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

That's true but only one of the locations that Python looks in.
You also need to use the command Steven suggested:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
to see all the places Python will look.

Currently the value will be either "32bit" or "64bit". ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
