| Jun 20, 2017 at 11:34 | comment | added | DarkDust | As far as I can see, this gives a wrong result when running as a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit OS since it's calculating the pointer-size, which is 32 bits. | |

from struct import*;print calcsize("P")*8 is shorter.

I think __import__ will be shorter

| Jun 19, 2017 at 20:21 | comment | added | Daniel | @tuskiomi, this prints "32bit" or "64bit" | |
| Jun 19, 2017 at 20:21 | comment | added | tuskiomi | I'm going to hold off on testing this until i'm home, but i'm not sure this prints out "32" and "64", but other cases i'm confident. | |
