[issue35896] sysconfig.get_platform returns wrong value when Python 32b is running under Windows 64b

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

This is intentional. The "platform" here represents the Python platform (for figuring out whether native modules are compatible), and since it's the 32-bit build of Python it should specify the 32-bit platform.

To find out information about the machine you are running on, look at the platform module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html
