[Repronim-trd3] Best way to determine conda architecture?

[Robert Buccigrossi]

Dear Niceman Gurus,

  To address #195, I'd like to find the conda architecture.  Of course, the
trick is how :)

*Option 1: Getting the platform from "conda info -a"*

  The command "conda info -a --json" does report the "platform" (like
"linux-64") so

*Option 2: Getting the architecture from conda's conda-meta JSON entry*

  I can see the architecture in the JSON file for the "conda" package in
the "conda-meta" directory (specifically in my recent install I see that
conda-meta/conda-4.4.10-py27_0.json has "arch": "x86_64") .  So I know that
I can use:

  conda list --json -f conda

 to get the "dist_name" (which on my system is "conda-4.4.10-py27_0"), and
then use that to construct the json filename and read it from conda-meta to
get the arch.

  Is there any preference?  Left to my own devices, I'd grab the platform
with Option 1...

Butch
