Try function architecture() from the platform module in Python 2.3 and
2.4. The first item of the returned tuple shows whether the underlying
system is 64-bit capable.
Here is what it returns on RedHat Fedora Core 2 Linux on Opteron:
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'ELF')
>>> platform.unam

I need to detect whether the operating system I am running on (not the
Python version) is 64bit or 32bit. One requirement is that I need to
include support for non-Intel/AMD architectures.
The 2 ways I have thought detecting 64bit are:
1. struct.calcsize("P") == 8
2. '64' in os.uname()[4]
