About to start going through the ‘Learn Python The Hard Way’ book and I am at the ‘Installation’ chapter, the book says to get 2.x… but should I get 64 or 32 bit? Does it matter one way or another? If so, how? I am running Windows 7 x64.
Thanks!
Use 32-bit. Currently the 64 bit versions of python don’t behave the way you might think they would (unless you’ve already researched it) and can create some installation issues with other libraries, especially on Windows.
For learning, 32bit is a much better option.
