I'd like to run 64-bit (twice as fast running this code, for one
thing),
but I'm planning on running this code using JCC as part of a Python
program, together with PyLucene, and I'm not sure that's possible.
The
Apple Python, I believe, is 32-bit. I may have to build my own
Python.
If you mean "JCC, a Java to C compiler", can you just make the C code
run as a separate process? If so, then you can compile it for x86_64
and run it as native 64-bit. I assume Python can launch sub-
processes and wait for them to exit, send signals, pipe stdio, etc.
If so, there's no particular reason that a 32-bit Python can't launch
a 64-bit child process that does the image-processing. The parent
can even specify which code it wants, see Leopard's 'man arch'.
I'm not sure how PyLucene would fit into that, but if it's resident
in the python 32-bit process, then most likely it's your code that
coordinates it all.
If you mean something else by JCC, please explain the constraint.
You might still want to arrange things to run a 64-bit java sub-
process for image-processing. It could be simpler than building a 64-
bit python, but YMMV.
You're right about 32-bit python on Leopard:
