I'm trying to switch my 64bit py2exe to 32bit version. Since I haven't found any uninstall command for py2exe, I've decided to just install 32bit version without uninstalling previous 64bit version.

Is this process harmless?

EDIT: I want to install 32bit py2exe to make an 32bit program.

    probably not. if you nuke the 64bit version and don't replace ALL of the modules/libraries/whatever with 32bit versions (e.g. you have extra optional bits installed), then you're going to end up with a broken install and broken code due to those "missing" libraries. – Marc B Oct 21 '14 at 14:25
  • @MarcB Thanks Marc. Is there a clean way to uninstall py2exe 64bit please? – Milano Oct 21 '14 at 14:27

py2exe ist a Python library. It uses the Python it is installed for.

So, it seems you need to install 32-bit Python (NOT into the same directory as ths 64-bit Python!), and then install the py2exe in it, and you should be ready to go.
