Running CPython compiled for 32-bit on a Windows 7 64-bit machine gives the
following:

>>> platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'WindowsPE')
>>> platform.machine()
'AMD64'

This didn't used to be the case - it was corrected in
http://bugs.python.org/issue7860 so you may need to upgrade to get accurate
information if you have an older Python installed.
