[issue2745] Add support for IsWow64Process

Brian Curtin added the comment: os.environ["PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432"] will tell you the true underlying processor architecture when under WOW. Therefore, if you find that this variable exists, you are under WOW. Example, on my 64-bit machine with a 32-bit compiled Python: Python 3.1.2 (r312:7

Pete Bartlett added the comment: Hi, I am a Python user seeking an implementation of iswow64 and found this tracker. Unfortunately I don't think Martin's suggested alternative approach works. os.environ["PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"] returns "x86" on my system when run from a 32-bit python, even

Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I think this can be just as well done with (untested, as I don't have access to a Windows system right now) def iswow64(): if platform.getarchitecture()[0] == '64-bit':return False return os.environ["PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"] != "x86"

[issue2745] Add support for IsWow64Process

New submission from Mark Hammond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: As per a thread on python-dev, I offered to add sys.iswow64process. I'm attaching a patch that does this (including news, docs and tests). I'm adding Martin to the nosy list as he has expressed reservations ("It sounds like clutter of the sy
