How do I determine if my python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit?

Question

I need a way to tell what mode the shell is in from within the shell.

While I\'m primarily an OS X user, I\'d be interested in knowing about other platforms as well.<

Answer 1

On Windows OS

Open the cmd termial and start python interpreter by typing >python as shown in the below image

If the interpreter info at start contains AMD64, it's 64-bit, otherwise, 32-bit bit.
