Until an architecture that differs in more than just number of bits comes out, at which point 'os.architecture == 32' starts becoming awkward. On Sun Dec 29 2013 at 12:34:09 PM, anatoly techtonik <techtonik@gmail.com> wrote:

Could you get that info from platform.uname()[4]?
If Python is about readability then looking at your example, I have two questions: 1. What is platform - hardware, CPU, OS, Python flavor? 2. What is uname()[4]?
For os.architecture I have only one question - what is the returned value? And it is easy to remember once you get it. It is also easy to debug. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
