According to the docs, it returns win32: http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html If anyone knows different, this should be reported as a documentation bug. But 30 seconds of googling suggests that sys.platform is 'win32' even on 64-bit builds of Windows, by design: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2144748/is-it-safe-to-use-sys-platformwin32-check-on-64-bit-python -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
