Yes, if a pip3 install would find a package, collect its components, and install successfully, I too would assume it found and collected the proper components. The problem is when it reports back no suitable candidate found, or something similar. In which case, would it be a safe workaround to add the 32 bit repository where the suitable candidate can be found? I have run into somewhat similar situations trying to install a snap package from a site that looked very legitamate on how to install it, with precise code, except that snap never existed for arm! A robo-site. A newbie trap.

cont... I found out that snap package never existed for arm, when I heard back from an appropriate support department. In my OP, I am trying to invite a 32/64 bit overview that helps me (and others) better recognize what should work and what probably will not work, on some official sounding pages that pop up as a google result. As a newbie, it can be difficult to recognize incomplete or bad advice, that looks legitimate. goldilocks, your answer does indeed help much, and I will wait another week or two before marking it as the answer, curious to see what others might share. Thank you.
