Determine if an executable (or library) is 32 -or 64-bits (on Windows)

问题

I am trying to find out if a given executable (or library) is compiled for 32-bits or 64-bits from Python. I am running Vista 64-bits and would like to determine if a certain application in a directory is compiled for 32-bits or 64-bits.

Is there a simple way to do this using only the standard Python libraries (currently using 2.5.4)?

回答1:

The Windows API for this is GetBinaryType. You can call this from Python using pywin32:

import win32file
type=GetBinaryType("myfile.exe")
if type==win32file.SCS_32BIT_BINARY:
    print "32 bit"
# And so on

If you want to do this without pywin32, you'll have to read the PE header yourself. Here's an example in C#, and here's a quick port to Python:

import struct

IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_I386=332
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_IA64=512
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_AMD64=34404

f=open("c:\windows\explorer.exe", "rb")

s=f.read(2)
if s!="MZ":
    print "Not an EXE file"
else:
    f.seek(60)
    s=f.read(4)
    header_offset=struct.unpack("<L", s)[0]
    f.seek(header_offset+4)
    s=f.read(2)
    machine=struct.unpack("<H", s)[0]

    if machine==IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_I386:
        print "IA-32 (32-bit x86)"
    elif machine==IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_IA64:
        print "IA-64 (Itanium)"
    elif machine==IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_AMD64:
        print "AMD64 (64-bit x86)"
    else:
        print "Unknown architecture"

f.close()

If you're running Python 2.5 or later on Windows, you could also use the Windows API without pywin32 by using ctypes.

from ctypes import windll, POINTER
from ctypes.wintypes import LPWSTR, DWORD, BOOL

SCS_32BIT_BINARY = 0 # A 32-bit Windows-based application
SCS_64BIT_BINARY = 6 # A 64-bit Windows-based application
SCS_DOS_BINARY = 1 # An MS-DOS-based application
SCS_OS216_BINARY = 5 # A 16-bit OS/2-based application
SCS_PIF_BINARY = 3 # A PIF file that executes an MS-DOS-based application
SCS_POSIX_BINARY = 4 # A POSIX-based application
SCS_WOW_BINARY = 2 # A 16-bit Windows-based application

_GetBinaryType = windll.kernel32.GetBinaryTypeW
_GetBinaryType.argtypes = (LPWSTR, POINTER(DWORD))
_GetBinaryType.restype = BOOL

def GetBinaryType(filepath):
    res = DWORD()
    handle_nonzero_success(_GetBinaryType(filepath, res))
    return res

Then use GetBinaryType just like you would with win32file.GetBinaryType.

Note, you would have to implement handle_nonzero_success, which basically throws an exception if the return value is 0.

I was able to use Martin B's answer successfully in a Python 3.5 program after making this adjustment:

s=f.read(2).decode(encoding="utf-8", errors="strict")

Originally it worked just fine with my program in Python 2.7, but after making other necessary changes, I discovered I was getting b'MZ', and decoding it appears to fix this.

Using Python 3.7, 32 bit on 64 bit Win 7, the first code fragment in the top answer doesn't run for me. It fails because GetBinaryType is an unknown symbol. Solution is to use win32file.GetBinaryType.

Also running it on a .pyd file doesn't work, even if it is renamed to a .dll. See next:

import shutil

import win32file
from pathlib import Path

myDir = Path("C:\\Users\\rdboylan\\AppData\\Roaming\\Python\\Python37\\site-packages\\pythonwin")
for fn in ("Pythonwin.exe", "win32ui.pyd"):
    print(fn, end=": ")
    myf = myDir / fn
    if myf.suffix == ".pyd":
        mytemp = myf.with_suffix(".dll")
        if mytemp.exists():
            raise "Can not create temporary dll since {} exists".format(mytemp)
        shutil.copyfile(myf, mytemp)
        type = win32file.GetBinaryType(str(mytemp))
        mytemp.unlink()
    else:
        type=win32file.GetBinaryType(str(myf))
    if type==win32file.SCS_32BIT_BINARY:
        print("32 bit")
    else:
        print("Something else")
    # And so on

Results in

Pythonwin.exe: 32 bit
win32ui.pyd: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/rdboylan/Documents/Wk devel/bitness.py", line 14, in <module>
    type = win32file.GetBinaryType(str(mytemp))
pywintypes.error: (193, 'GetBinaryType', '%1 is not a valid Win32 application.')
