Zachary Ware added the comment: There's also backward compatibility to consider here; someone somewhere is depending on getting back \0 in his REG_SZes. If we were to make a change, it could only go in 3.6. With that restriction, I don't see a particularly nice way to get the same behavior from 3.6+ and 3.5-.
Also, I don't like the idea of having a mismatch between what we set and what we get, even if what we're setting technically shouldn't be allowed. I'm more inclined to just document that REG_SZ and REG_EXPAND_SZ values may contain nulls if the key was added improperly. ---------- versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
