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.
