On the downloader page, http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.2/ there is an entry "•Windows X86-64 MSI Installer" that links to http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.amd64.msi

Running this installer succeeds and show messages that a 64-bit version of Python is being installed; however, running Python shows that only a 32-bit version is being run despite a welcome message stating that a 64-bit version is being run:
