Hi.
When running the Python Windows installer 'for all users', the 32-bit
installation and the 64-bit installation each gets a separate
registration in the Windows registry. E.g. under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.4
and:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\3.4
However, when running the installer 'for the current user only', the
32-bit and the 64-bit installation both use the same Windows registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.4
Note that a 64-bit installation does not automatically uninstall a
previous 32-bit installation in either case, or vice versa.
Why the mismatch?
As I understand it, whichever installation you use, you should be
able to run a specific Python interpreter using the py.exe runner, as it:
py.exe -3.4
py.exe -3.4-32
As it stands now - both of those run the same interpreter when they
have been installed 'for the current user only'.
Is this as issue or desired behaviour? Should I open an issue for it?
Best regards,
Jurko Gospodnetić
