Hi

I am looking for a robust, cross-platform way to determine if I am on a
32 bit or a 64 bit Python and if the numpy installation is also 32 bit
or 64 bit.

I have googled a bit and found some platform specific solutions but
nothing general.

The solution should work with different versions of Python (>= 2.4).

Thanks in advance

Martin

You can find out the size of a pointer with struct.calcsize("P") * 8.
Numpy will have the same configuration if you can import it.
