Possible Duplicate: How do I determine if my python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit mode? I made a question earlier that never got replied to, but I have something more specific now so hopefully you can help. Basically the SendKeys library only appears to install on my 32 bit system of Windows... So I was wondering if there is a way of making it so this function I am going to write will only execute on a 32 bit system? I realise there is a platform.architecture() method to check the current system, but it returns the string "('64bit', 'WindowsPE')". I was wondering if there was a way to read the 64 bit part of this string to make this function work correctly. For example, pseudo code: checker = platform.architecture() system = strip or read 64 bit from checker string somehow if system == 64 bit then warn system is 64 bit and won't run function else run function Along the line of that. Unless there is a simpler way of checking it - maybe against the version of Python used (ie 32 or 64 bit) Hope I've grasped this correctly - I'm still rather new to programming. :)
