Does anyone know how to use _winreg.Loadkey, or whether it is even
implemented properly, in 2.4.2 and 2.5 (the fact that it is named
wrong in the Docs and not covered in the test suites doesn't inspire
confidence).
I find that I can use it to load a key into the top level
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE), but that various things don't appear
to be released properly when Python exits, in that neither the
key itself can be changed with regedt32, nor the file it
was read in from deleted (due to being in use by another process),
until the system is rebooted.
This happens under both Win2000 and Win XP Pro.
And I can't find any way to load a subkey, e.g. code like this
fails:
key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE')
_winreg.LoadKey(
key, 'My key',
'mykey'
)
as does:
key = _winreg.LoadKey(
_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'Software\\My key',
'mykey'
)
both producing Access Denied errors.
- thanks
