New submission from Barry Scott: I am used to looking in HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\%(py_maj)d.%(py_min)d\InstallPath to find out where python is installed so that my installation kit can add itself to site-packages.
I just found that the registry key used for 32 bit python 3.5 on windows changed to be '3.5-32', which I can change my installer to cope with. However the key for the 64bit install is ‘3.5’ but not '3.5-64'. This seems like a regression to me in the interface to Python on Windows. Is there a reason not to use the original naming?
