Python: 64bit Numpy?

I am currently working with numpy on a 32bit system (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS).

Can I expect my code to work fluently, in the same manner, on a 64bit (Ubuntu) system?

Does numpy have an compatibility issues with 64bit python?

There are official Ubuntu packages and the installation instructions explicitly mention AMD64 as a target plattform: Installing SciPy/Linux.

The code uses type identifiers with exact size definitions (e.g. "float64") internally, so the code will also be portable between plattforms. You should notice a performance impact for the better or worse depending on the type of algorithms you run.

NumPy has been used on 64-bit systems of all types for years now. I doubt you will find anything new that doesn't show up elsewhere as well.
