I haven't noticed any problems, when I moved my personal website from a
32-bit machine to a 64-bit one.

About the only noticeable difference -- other than the obvious memory
growth -- is that string hashes are computed differently, which changes
the ordering of dict.keys().  Thankfully, pickles do not rely on that
implementation detail.

It's possible to describe anything in mathematical notation. I recall seeing
some paper once in which someone had created a mathematical description of C.
(I forget whether or not this included the preprocessor.) As an achievement,
this is somewhat like building a full-size model of the Eiffel Tower out of
tongue depressors. It's clearly not the act of a talentless man, but you have
to wonder what he said when he applied for his grant.
