I propose to include functions to access the windows registry into the python 1.6 core.
I have thrown together some code which I will post hopefully tomorrow, but I would like to hear some comments before.

Open Questions: Is the recursive-flag for DeleteKey() too dangerous?
As long as it defaults to non-recursive, it's fine by me.
Should I switch from an integer handle to a full blown python-object, which would call CloseKey() automatically in the destructor?
Absodefiposilutely Yes. Not so sure you need typecode. There are 10 types defined, but most tools only do 3 (string, dword and binary) and most usage is of 2 (dword and string - which can hold binary data). So I'd think you could infer pretty safely. Actually, I guess this boils down to intent - "Python as a complete registry tool" would require all the types, but "Python can use the registry" could automatically use dword or string, as appropriate. - Gordon
