Python installing as 32bit application on my 64bit system - abdulganiyy - Jun-06-2018
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

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.
