It's not authorative. It's experience :-)

See Jimmy's mail about OS differences. If you want Python to be the
same in all OS's you'll get the lowest common subset of functionality.

You can either write a module that wraps regtool. Another way is to
write
a C module that does registry work and use SWIG, Boost, ... to make it
a Python module.
Yet another option is to write the .reg file and let Windows handle
it.

IMO if runtime is not that important create a winreg module the uses
regtool.

HTH.
