All I know is that the Distutils only use the registry for one thing:
finding the MSVC binaries (in distutils/msvccompiler.py). The registry
access is coded in such a way that we can use either the
win32api/win32con modules ("old way") or _winreg ("new way", but still
the low-level interface).
I'm all in favour of high-level interfaces, and I'm also in favour of
speaking the local tongue -- when in Windows, follow the Windows API (at
least for features that are totally Windows-specific, like the
registry). But I know nothing about all this stuff, and as far as I
know the registry access in distutils/msvccompiler.py works just fine as
is.
