Re: [pygame] C/C++ and Python



It can work in 32bit mode... as long as the binary is 32bit.  On linux and osx, you can run 32bit binaries on a 64bit system... along side 64bit apps.  I think you can do it on windows too... but not as well.

For some things 64bit python is 4x faster for me... so 64bit python is faster than psyco with 32bit psyco for some things.  A complicated world we live in ;)

oh good. But why can't something written for 32bit work on 64bit? I thought that a higher bit number was backwards-compatible

However, recently other people are working on psyco.... so if they get funded for 64bit work... it might happen too.

There's a new release of psyco coming out soon.

As is mentioned in Psyco's guide. . .

. .. . the author has no intention of updating Psyco to support 64 bit
architectures.  For 64 bit OSs, you're stuck with other methods of
optimisation.
