Why is dramatiq detecting my PC as 32 bits?

Question

I'm trying to run django-dramatiq --watch, but it returns a RuntimeError: Watching for source changes is not supported on win32.

django-dramatiq version:

dramatiq version:

Both my Python installation and my system are 64 bits, so I don't understand the issue

win32 is the generic name for the Windows API on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. It's saying that operation is not available in Windows.

More specifically, I should have said that, in Python, `sys.platform` returns `win32` regardless of the bit size. – Tim Roberts Jun 01 '21 at 18:58
