Actually, my code only *requires* _winreg, which should be standard on 
Win32 systems (AFAIK) with Python 2.2+.  It'll use win32all if it's 
available, as it provides access to the "correct" API, but the code will 
retrieve the value from the registry directly if necessary.

I don't even have access to a Mac machine, hence my 
"testing/collaboration" comment above.  Users of weird ;) platforms need 
to stand up contribute code if they want their platform supported :) .

Have fun,
Mike
