[issue7860] 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows reports incorrect architecture

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

It's also inconsistent with Linux behaviour:

>>> import sys 
>>> sys.maxsize
2147483647
>>> import platform
>>> platform.machine()
'x86_64'
>>> platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'ELF')

(on a Python compiled with "-m32" on a 64-bit Linux)
