Running latest 32-bit Python on 64-bit system

[Christian Ullrich]

Hello,

I have a problem with using the (otherwise nice) Python launcher. How 
can I get it to run the highest 32-bit Python on my 64-bit system? This 
is on Windows, but I think it applies to other OSes as well.

My application runs (unmodified) with Python 3.[345], but only with the 
32-bit version because it loads a DLL that has no 64-bit version 
available. I would like to run it on any system that has *any* suitable 
Python installed.

However, with the shebang syntax supported by the launcher, I can only 
demand a 32-bit version if I also specify the Python minor version I 
want, and I don't necessarily know that in advance.

I can code around that, of course, but I don't want to. If Python can 
select the 64-bit version to run by itself, it should also be able to 
for the 32-bit version, right?

Thanks,
