Take a look at: How do I force Python to be 32-bit on Snow Leopard and other 32-bit/64-bit questions on ways to configure Python to run in 32 bits (VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT environment variable seems a good choice).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
