Summary: Registry key CurrentVersion not set

Initial Comment:
According to the documentation for Python's use of the
Windows registry, the version number of most recently
installed version is in the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\CurrentVersion.
But this key does not exist on my system.

My configuration: Python 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003,
18:12:08) on Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, SP1.

FWIW, I downloaded most recent revision (1.133.4.4) of
the Wise installation script (python20.wse) from CVS. 
I then opened it with an evaluation copy of Wise
Installation System.  I've never used that product, but
it appears that the above key isn't assigned a value.

I'm unassigning this, since I neither maintain the
python.org web pages nor would I want to.

I would suggest to either remove these pages completely, or
mark them as hopefully outdated.

The document "Python Registry" is at
http://www.python.org/windows/python/registry.html

The page "Python support for Windows" 
(http://www.python.org/windows/) has a link to that 
document, but it is classified as an old link.  Seems to confirm 
your thinking that the documentation no longer describes the 
way things are done.

I think this is a documentation bug. Can you point me to
where it is documented?
