我应该安装哪种顶篷分配？

Question

I am running 32 bit Python on a 64 bit system. Which enthought canopy distribution should I install? The 32 bit or the 64 bit?

In other words, do I match the operating system I am using or do I match the Python I am using?

Answer 1

You install a 64bit Operating System.

And you should install a 32bit Python version only if :

• The libraries you intend to use does not support a 64bit Python version.
• You intend to build your .py into a .exe
• You're testing something specific related to the 32bit arch.

Otherwise, install a 64bit Python and a newer python version (Python 3.X) if possible.
