title: Can 64-bit python create 32-bit Windows executables
body: <p>I have a new 64-bit Windows machine and use python for various things and so would prefer to install 64-bit python.</p>
  
  <p>However, one of my python projects creates a Windows executable that is then run on a 32-bit Windows machine (created using py2exe).</p>
  
  <p>How do I use 64-bit python and py2exe to create a 32-bit executable?</p>
  
  <p>If I can't do that, I guess my choices are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Use 32-bit python on all machines
  including mine; or </p></li>
  <li><p>Install python on
  the 32-bit machines and don't use
  py2exe.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any advice much appreciated.</p>
