These functions expose the Windows registry API to Python. Instead of using an integer as the registry handle, a handle object is used to ensure that the handles are closed correctly, even if the programmer neglects to explicitly close them.
This module exposes a very low-level interface to the Windows
registry; it is expected that in the future a new winreg
module will be created offering a higher-level interface to the
registry API.
This module offers the following functions:
Note that if hkey is not closed using this method, (or the handle.Close() closed when the hkey object is destroyed by Python.
computer_name is the name of the remote computer, of the
form "\\computername". If None
, the local computer
is used.
key is the predefined handle to connect to.
The return value is the handle of the opened key. If the function fails, an EnvironmentError exception is raised.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that names the key this method opens or creates.
If key is one of the predefined keys, sub_key may
be None
. In that case, the handle returned is the same key handle
passed in to the function.
If the key already exists, this function opens the existing key
The return value is the handle of the opened key. If the function fails, an EnvironmentError exception is raised.
key is an already open key, or any one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that must be a subkey of the key
identified by the key parameter. This value must not be
None
, and the key may not have subkeys.
This method can not delete keys with subkeys.
If the method succeeds, the entire key, including all of its values, is removed. If the method fails, an EnvironmentError exception is raised.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
value is a string that identifies the value to remove.
key is an already open key, or any one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
index is an integer that identifies the index of the key to retrieve.
The function retrieves the name of one subkey each time it is called. It is typically called repeatedly until an EnvironmentError exception is raised, indicating, no more values are available.
key is an already open key, or any one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
index is an integer that identifies the index of the value to retrieve.
The function retrieves the name of one subkey each time it is called. It is typically called repeatedly, until an EnvironmentError exception is raised, indicating no more values.
The result is a tuple of 3 items: [value_name] A string that identifies the value name [value_data] An object that holds the value data, and whose type depends on the underlying registry type. [data_type] is an integer that identifies the type of the value data.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
It is not necessary to call RegFlushKey to change a key. Registry changes are flushed to disk by the registry using its lazy flusher. Registry changes are also flushed to disk at system shutdown. Unlike CloseKey(), the FlushKey() method returns only when all the data has been written to the registry. An application should only call FlushKey() if it requires absolute certainty that registry changes are on disk.
If you don't know whether a FlushKey() call is required, it probably isn't.
key is an already open key, or any of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that identifies the sub_key to load
file_name is the name of the file to load registry data from. This file must have been created with the SaveKey() function. Under the file allocation table (FAT) file system, the filename may not have an extension.
A call to LoadKey() fails if the calling process does not have the SE_RESTORE_PRIVILEGE privilege. Note that privileges are different than permissions - see the Win32 documentation for more details.
If key is a handle returned by ConnectRegistry(), then the path specified in fileName is relative to the remote computer.
The Win32 documentation implies key must be in the HKEY_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tree. This may or may not be true.

key is an already open key, or any one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that identifies the sub_key to open
res is a reserved integer, and must be zero. The default is zero.
sam is an integer that specifies an access mask that describes the desired security access for the key. Default is KEY_READ
The result is a new handle to the specified key
If the function fails, EnvironmentError is raised.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
The result is a tuple of 3 items: [num_subkeys] An integer that identifies the number of sub keys this key has. [num_values] An integer that identifies the number of values this key has. [last_modified] A long integer that identifies when the key was last modified (if available) as 100's of nanoseconds since Jan 1, 1600.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that holds the name of the subkey with which
the value is associated. If this parameter is None
or empty, the
function retrieves the value set by the SetValue() method
for the key identified by key.
Values in the registry have name, type, and data components. This method retrieves the data for a key's first value that has a NULL name. But the underlying API call doesn't return the type, Lame Lame Lame, DO NOT USE THIS!!!
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
value_name is a string indicating the value to query.
The result is a tuple of 2 items: [value] The value of the registry item. [type_id] An integer that identifies the registry type for this value.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
file_name is the name of the file to save registry data to. This file cannot already exist. If this filename includes an extension, it cannot be used on file allocation table (FAT) file systems by the LoadKey(), ReplaceKey() or RestoreKey() methods.
If key represents a key on a remote computer, the path described by file_name is relative to the remote computer. The caller of this method must possess the SeBackupPrivilege security privilege. Note that privileges are different than permissions - see the Win32 documentation for more details.
This function passes NULL for security_attributes to the API.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.
sub_key is a string that names the subkey with which the value is associated.
type is an integer that specifies the type of the data. Currently this must be REG_SZ, meaning only strings are supported. Use the SetValueEx() function for support for other data types.
value is a string that specifies the new value.
If the key specified by the sub_key parameter does not exist, the SetValue function creates it.
Value lengths are limited by available memory. Long values (more than 2048 bytes) should be stored as files with the filenames stored in the configuration registry. This helps the registry perform efficiently.
The key identified by the key parameter must have been opened with KEY_SET_VALUE access.

sub_key is a string that names the subkey with which the value is associated.
type is an integer that specifies the type of the data.
This should be one of:
[REG_BINARY]
Binary data in any form.
[REG_DWORD]
A 32-bit number.
[REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN]
A 32-bit number in little-endian format.
[REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN]
A 32-bit number in big-endian format.
[REG_EXPAND_SZ]
A null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references
to environment variables (for example, %PATH%
)
[REG_LINK]
A Unicode symbolic link.
[REG_MULTI_SZ]
A sequence (eg, list, sequence) of null-terminated strings,
terminated by two null characters. (Note that Python handles
this termination automatically)
[REG_NONE]
No defined value type.
[REG_RESOURCE_LIST]
A device-driver resource list.
[REG_SZ]
A null-terminated string.
reserved can be anything - zero is always passed to the API.
value is a string that specifies the new value.
This method can also set additional value and type information for the specified key. The key identified by the key parameter must have been opened with KEY_SET_VALUE access.
To open the key, use the CreateKeyEx() or OpenKey() methods.
