Eryk Sun added the comment:
Using platform.architecture [1] is fine here. `bits` defaults to the size of a
pointer in the current process, i.e. `struct.calcsize('P') * 8`.
On Windows, it's useless for anything except the default parameters. It doesn't
call GetBinaryType [2] to distinguish 32-bit and 64-bit executables, so from a
64-bit process it will incorrectly return that a 32-bit executable is 64-bit.
