Entry message: [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Question

I was wondering in, when I start python I get the following message:

Python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:28:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type \"he         


        

Answer 1

It just means for the windows platform, not that your architecture is 32 bit . The MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64) means it is compiled as a 64 bit application.
