#107720 — Python(x,y) 64 bit

Hello,

I installed Python(x,y) 64 bit version and ran it using a library that requires Python 64 bit. 
I got an error which indicated that I am using Python 32 bit.

So, is the python used by Python(x,y) 64 bit, using Python 64 or 32 bit?

Thanks

You can check by doing `python -c "import sys;print(sys.maxsize ==
2**63-1)"`.  You'll get True for 64-bit, False for 32-bit.  There's a
possibility that you've gotten a misleading error message, though.
What version of Python(x,y) are you using, and what library?

Zach,

I did check and it looks like the Python(x,y) 64 distribution I downloaded uses a 32 bit Python.
The question is if there is ANY Python(x,y) 64 distribution that uses the 64 bit python version.
I looked it up online and could not find anything related to this issue

I don't know anything about Python(x,y), but from their website it looks
like it doesn't offer 64-bit python. 

Note, Python(x,y) is not affiliated with Python itself.

That said, perhaps you should check out
https://www.continuum.io/downloads which is the Anaconda scientific
distribution, which I know does offer 64-bit Python support.
