Sure you can, just put them in different directories. I don't recall whether Python installs anything to C:\Windows\System, but the 32-bit version would just go into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 instead, so there's no conflict there. The py launcher will prefer the 64-bit version but can be directed to invoke the 32-bit version instead. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
