when will ScanCode run with 64-bit Python on Windows?
@pombredanne replie:
running on 64bits should not be a big issue, this is just about recompiling all the thirdparty and ensuring the tests pass: I have started working on getting 64 bits Python wheels here https://github.com/pombreda/thirdparty to have a fully automated rebuild of all thirddparties. There are some of them that can compile only under Mingw and I did not come down to these yet. If you are interested to chip in I could guide you alright. This is is mostly about native libraries and testing: the candidates are likely libarchive, libmagic and 7zip and it is very possible that no recompilation is needed at all since these are either spawned (7zip) or use with a ctypes binding (libarchive, libmagic)
