Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

Adding a warning sounds like a good idea.  Is it reasonable to include a 
recommended cross-platform approach in the platform doc, like either the 
sys.maxsize test or the struct.calsize("P") test (which is used as a default 
fallback in platform.architecture)?  Are there any currently supported 
platforms where either of those wouldn't work?
