New submission from Daniel Stutzbach <daniel at stutzbachenterprises.com>:
I noticed this in 2.6, but I imagine it affects 2.7, and 3.x as well.
The documentation for _winreg.OpenKey reads in part:
_winreg.OpenKey(key, sub_key[, res=0][, sam=KEY_READ])
However:
>>> import _winreg
>>> _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software',
sam=_winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: OpenKey() takes no keyword arguments
Probably the OpenKey implementation should be updated to use
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords instead of PyArg_ParseTuple?
