It seems you don't want to identify whether the Windows installation is a Win64 one, but whether the Python installation is, right?

I think we can say with a reasonably certainty that if the Python installation is 64-bits the OS is 64-bits too. So yes, if we can identify the Python installation is 64-bits that would be helpful.

For this, you should use platform.architecture()[0]

OK, thanks, that's useful, but please see my response to Mark about the why and why platform.architecture()[0] helps, but not fully though.
