Yup :-) I'm not a distutils maintainer, so I hardly know how it does things internally. > It tackles the problem completely differently on Windows, Unix, and > OS X. Ah... but does it compute the result by itself or simply queries some kind of external information? If the former, then it should be simple to give it the right bitness value (32 vs. 64). If the latter, things will get a bit more... interesting :-) ---------- title: distutils.utils.get_platform() for 32-bit Python on a 64-bit machine -> distutils.utils.get_platform() for 32-bit Python on a 64-bit machine _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18987> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
