Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: The attached patches for py3k (3.2+) and 2.7 correct platform.architecture() to return the bit architecture ('32bit' or '64bit') of the running interpreter in the default case where executable = sys.executable. The linkage string will also contain information about the Mach-O executable including available bit- and processor-architectures as returned by the MacOS X file command.
An example of the most general results, using a 4-way build: # ./configure --enable-universalsdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk --with-universal-archs=all MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 $ file ./python ./python: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures ./python (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 ./python (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc ./python (for architecture ppc64): Mach-O 64-bit executable ppc64 ./python (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 $ arch -i386 ./python -c 'import platform;print(platform.architecture())' ('32bit', 'MachO 32bit 64bit i386 ppc ppc64 x86_64') $ arch -x86_64 ./python -c 'import platform;print(platform.architecture())' ('64bit', 'MachO 32bit 64bit i386 ppc ppc64 x86_64') $ arch -ppc ./python -c 'import platform;print(platform.architecture())' ('32bit', 'MachO 32bit 64bit i386 ppc ppc64 x86_64') $ arch -i386 ./python -m platform Darwin-10.5.0-i386-32bit-MachO_32bit_64bit_i386_ppc_ppc64_x86_64 $ arch -x86_64 ./python -m platform Darwin-10.5.0-i386-64bit-MachO_32bit_64bit_i386_ppc_ppc64_x86_64 $ ./python -m platform --terse Darwin-10.5.0 ---------- stage: -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10735> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
