+1 on better names, -1 on removing the reserved parameter The parameters of OpenKey mirror those of the underlying RegOpenKey call. If we remove the reserved parameter, then: 1) Any code currently using the sam parameter will break, since it's currently only positional 2) If Microsoft later makes the reserved parameter do something, then we will have to reinsert a parameter before sam or have our arguments in a different order than RegOpenKey For what it's worth, RegOpenKey names the parameters: hKey, lpSubKey, ulOptions, and samDesired. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5774> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
