Using regedit.exe, look at the registry keys and values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python If you need to know how to read the registry from Python: please install the python win32 extensions (or use ActivePython).

Les There's more to it than that... isn't there? I've used _winreg and the win32 extensions in the past when working with the registry. I thought perhaps someone had already scripted something to extract this info. I'm creating a Python plugin for Bartpe (Windows Pre-Install Environment) and it works OK, but to make it work _exactly_ like it does on XP (.py and .pyw associate with python and pythonw), I need to extract the reg entries so I can recreate them in the WinPE environment.

Ok, if you need to get all changes in the registry, you can use regdiff. http://p-nand-q.com/download/regdiff.html Take a snapshot before and after installing Python. However, this is not a wise approach. For example: 1. One can have a system drive 'C:\' others 'G:\' 2. One can have Windows installed in \Windows others in \WinNT and others in \MyWinNT 3. For many registry values, you cannot really tell if you need to correct a value or not. As a result, I believe you will only be able to use the 'regdiff' only on the same type of computer, with the same system drive, same system directory, same windows version etc. For other computers, there is no guarantee for that it will work.

You should be able to find all the entries in msi.py that's used to build the installer.

Actually you don't need the PyWin32 extensions to read the Windows registry since the _winreg module was added to the Python core.

If it's just a matter of creating those associations, I believe you can do that equally well using the ftype and assoc console commands, via os.system() or something similar. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
