Using a conditional in the python interpreter -c command
===

I am trying to figure out how to pass the following conditional statement into the python interpreter's command option (-c).

    if sys.maxsize > 2**32:
        print '64'
    else:
        print '32'
    
    64

However, I continually get syntax errors, such as the following:

    >python -c "import sys; if sys.maxsize > 2**32: print '64' else: print '32';"
      File "<string>", line 1
        import sys; if sys.maxsize > 2**32: print '64' else: print '32';
                     ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I found it surprisingly difficult to find a good example of this usage.  I must be missing something big here...
