Here is a really simple one:

>>> import _winreg, sys
>>> key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Python\\PythonCore\\" + sys.winver + "\\PythonPath")
>>> _winreg.QueryValue(key, "")
'f:\\src\\python-cvs\\lib;f:\\src\\python-cvs\\pcbuild'
>>> _winreg.EnumKey(key, 0)
'Pythonwin'
>>> _winreg.EnumKey(key, 1)
'win32'
>>>

This shows the default PythonPath for my current version, and shows that I have at least 2 keys under this, called "Pythonwin" and "win32".  It doesnt show the values for these 2 subkeys.

Mark.
