If you are looking to monitor only a single registry key, you can use
the RegNotifyChangeKeyValue API, and you should even be able to do this
from Python.  If you set fAsynchronous to false, it blocks until
something in the key changes, then returns to you.

If you are hoping to monitor the entire registry, that requires the
assistance of a kernel driver.
