Here is the code of a function that returns the SID of the currentely
loggedin user.
This function ius part of a bigger program, so probably it won't
on your system but it gives you an idea how to iterate over
Registrey Keys.

def get_sid ():
     hkey = RegOpenKey (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, ProfileList)
     sid = None
     i = 0
     while i >= 0:
         try:
             sid = RegEnumKey (hkey, i)
             key = RegOpenKey (hkey, sid)
             path, kind = RegQueryValueEx (key, "ProfileImagePath")
             RegCloseKey (key)
             if ExpandEnvironmentStrings (path) == USERPROFILE:
                 i = -1
             else:
                 i = i + 1
         except error, why:
             log ('Searching for sid:', str(why))
             i = -1
     RegCloseKey (hkey)
     return sid
