I vaguely remember that I wasn't happy with the way this was handled either, but was too busy at the time to look into it. (I can't say whether I'm happy with the module or not, since I've never tried to use it. But I do feel unhappy about the process.) Note that Paul recently updated most of the docstrings, so he can't be blamed alone, and I'm sure fixes to the docstrings are welcome. Mark, could you spend some time explaining what you think should be changed in the module? I think it's not too late to change it -- after all there aren't any real users of the module out. (I note that Greg Ward chose the same route as you -- he uses _winreg, not winreg.) I vaguely remember that Paul Prescod's main gripe with the _winreg API was that it's not object-oriented enough -- but that seems his main gripe about most code these days. :-) Paul, how much experience with using the Windows registry did you have when you designed the new API? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.pythonlabs.com/~guido/)
