<PRE>os.urandom works on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine (ActiveState Python V2.7).

I think you can use the following to determine if 32/64bit:

import platform
if platform.architecture()[0] == '64bit':
    #
    # Do 64 bit stuff here
    #
else:
    #
    # Do 32 bit stuff here
    #

Does os.urandom work on Win64?  We could just use that if someone would 
help me with the OS detection (see lib/Crypto/Random/OSRNG/__init__.py).
