<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t use Python myself. I keep user desktops updated. Everything’s 64-bit. In the past I was able to install 32-bit Python on 32-bit machines and 64-bit Python on 64-bit machines. Now it’s just the one msi file to install, at least
for 3.5.1. I do have a couple Python 2.7.9 users. We’re all 64-bit for machines, but I keep having Python install as 32-bit. I’m not sure if it recognizes something on the machine and matches it for being 32-bit that I’m not aware of. It can be tricky
to uninstall, so it becomes a slight issue. I just want to get 64-bit Python on my user machines, unless it’s not possible.<u></u><u></u></p>
