Disclaimer: I'm a Unix guy and have been since the days of V7 on a
PDP-11 -- I rarely use MS Windows.
While I don't normally use Windows, I do occasionally have Python
applications (written under Linux) which I'd like to distribute to
Windows users. I've always used py2exe and Inno Setup to that, and
it's always worked OK (after a fair bit of stumbling around).
My "Windows partition" currently has a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate
installation.
I'm told that the executable I generate on that machine won't run on
Win7 32-bit installations. I'm not surprised by that, but I'd like to
provide 32-bit operability -- and I'm not sure how one does that.
* If I built an executable on a 32-bit windows system using py2exe,
would it be usable on a 64-bit install?
* Is there such a thing as a "fat" Windows binary that will run on
both 32 and 64 bit systems?
* Or do you build separate 32 and 64 bit binaries and rely on the
installer to pick the right files? [If Inno Setup can't do that, I
can probably get somebody else to build the installer using
something that can.]
Or do I just wait until MS includs Python/tkinger/wxPython as part of
every Windows install?

P.S. Don't tell anybody I can actually write programs that will run
under MS Windows -- it's a secret.
