The module platform

provides such information. Example:

>>> platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'ELF')

Additional information related to architecture is available in sys.platform

and sys.byteorder

.

32-bit versions of Python (regardless of the architecture it is installed on):

>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'WindowsPE')

64-bit Python versions:

>>> import platform
>>> platform.architecture()
('64bit', 'WindowsPE')
