问题描述

进入 Python 的时候都会看到如下提示:

Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 17:00:18) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

但是这个提示中的每一句话是什么意思呢?

解释

code	interpretion
Python 3.6.5	Python version
v3.6.5:f59c0932b4
Mar 28 2018, 17:00:18	the build date
MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)	Compiled with MSVC compiler targeting 64-bit
on win32	windows platform

问题

Q1: why use win32 but not win64?
A1: It's mainly due to historical reasons. win32 is a bit of a misnomer since it's generally used to refer to windows platform regardless of bit width support.

Q2: why use () at first and then use [] ?
A2: Elimination of ambiguity. In the second sentence, there is a tip that MSC v.1900 64 bit is based on AMD64 but not Intel 64, and author use () to light that, so if author use () in the second sentence, there must be ambiguous.

Q3: f59c0932b4 means?
A3: maybe it is the revision.
