Unity 5 install 64bits python version in 32 bits OS

I was trying to build a simple project (a model viewer for my portfolio) so i build to webgl, after a long wait and several failed tryies saw that a error about emcripten and python exists so i checked and the python version that unity install was a 64bits eion in my 32 bits OS.
So my question is. is that normal? will be safe to remplase that python with a 32 bit version?

Unity installs Python?

Yes my version have it in playback engines folder

You can replace it but it won’t help you much. We are not supporting WebGL building on 32bit OS (what python is used for) since some parts of our toolchain are not available as 32bit versions.

Will it be a consideration in future? There should be a 32-bit toolchain for broader circle of developers

I can understand that Desktop platform developer may need 32 bit dlls and so they would need the 32 bit unity version.
But for Webgl there are no native plug-in and so the need for that is not there.
32 bit Os’s are on the way out and i think there is no need to slow down / over complicate stuff where its not necessary.

This is not entirely up to us since some of the tools we are using are made/maintained by projects/people from the internet.
If they decide to create and support 32bit versions it might be an option for us to consider.

Again, very sorry that you can’t use our WebGL export on your system.
