Sometimes, we want to determine if a Python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit.
In this article, we’ll look at how to determine if a Python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit.
How to determine if a Python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit?
To determine if a Python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit, we can use the platform module.
For instance, we write
import platform
print(platform.architecture()[0])
to call platform.architecture and get the first part from the list to either display '32bit' if it’s running on a 32 bit shell or '64bit' if it’s running on a 64 bit shell.
Conclusion
To determine if a Python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit, we can use the platform module.
