Sure you can, just put them in different directories. I don't recall
whether Python installs anything to C:\Windows\System, but the 32-bit
version would just go into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 instead, so there's no
conflict there. The py launcher will prefer the 64-bit version but can
be directed to invoke the 32-bit version instead.
