[New-bugs-announce] [issue6792] Distutils-based installer does not detect 64bit versions of Python

[erluk]

New submission from erluk <erluk at pargalaxy.de>:

An installer for source-only modules created using distutils
(bdist_wininst) will only detect 32bit installations of Python on 64bit
Windows machines.

Expected behaviour:
The installer lists 32bit and 64bit installations of Python on the machine.
