Python 2.7 for Windows 7 x64 writes that it is "on win32". Why?
Why when running the installed Python 2.7.13 (Windows x86-64 MSI installer) the environment displays version information in the following format:
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) [MSC c.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32?
The system under which I run: Windows 7 Ultimate x64. But why does the environment not support x64, and writes ... on win32? Also, when running my program, I see by the runtime that there is no support for x64, and it works as long as on a 32-bit system.
Which installer should I use to have full x64 support? Really, except as is there nothing else you can do with installing Python 3?

Python 2.7.13 – Python version
(v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) – revision number and build time
[MSC c.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] – compiled using the MSC compiler for the 64-bit platform
on win32 – you are on a Windows platform (regardless of the number of bits)
