Python Forum

Hello geeks, I am just confused why everytime I install python on my 64bit system, it is showing as a 32bit application.

Is there any issue with this or will the running of code be affected in any way?

Thank you for your support.

Do you install the 64-bit version of python?

I installed the latest python release from python.org official website. Shouldn't it install the 64bit python app for my system automatically?

what OS? For windows there are separate 32-bit and 64-bit installers available for download

Windows 10

Not direct. Windows and the most Linux distributions have 32 bit and 64 bit libraries installed.
I guess float have the double accuracy in 64 bit.

If you want to install extensions like numpy manually (the unofficial binary distribution), you've to chose the same architecture + supported Python Version.

If you go a deeper and want to use C libraries with ctypes or cffi, the Interpreter must have the same architecture (32/64 bit) to access this libraries.

For a beginner this does not matter.
