  <p>I'm doing some work with the windows registry. Depending on whether you're running python as 32-bit or 64-bit, the key value will be different. How do I detect if Python is running as a 64-bit application as opposed to a 32-bit application?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I'm not interested in detecting 32-bit/64-bit Windows - just the Python platform.</p>
