Hi,

I havn't tried it myself, since i don't own a 64-Bit processor, but

say, that you can use 64 bit integers in CPython, if your C compiller 
supports 64 bit integer. May also depend on your OS.

But you have to read some groups in http://groups.google.com
Just search for 'Python 64 bit'. This will give you a lot of results, I 
guess.


I think many people here can give you further information
