[Tutor] Python 3.5 32-bit installer not creating standard registry key

[Pete]

Sorry, I've just realised that my previous message was wrong - please 
delete it. I now see that the key in question is actually a Python for 
Windows Extensions key. The problem appears to lie in the Python for 
Windows Extensions 32-bit installer not recognising any of the new 
Python 3.5 32-bit keys. I'll have to find some way of contacting the 
Python for Windows Extensions developers to ask them which key the 
installer is looking for, and then try to determine why I don't have it.

Hi there,

I am looking for the best place to post a problem I'm having with Python 
3.5.

The 64-bit installer works fine, creating among other 64-bit registry 
keys a generic one called 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\pywin32-py3.5. 
Installing Python for Windows Extensions afterwards works fine as its 
installer looks for this particular key on installation.

However, the 32-bit Python 3.5 installer does not create a similar 
generic key in the 32-bit registry, meaning that I can't install Python 
for Windows Extensions 32-bit afterwards.

This problem did not occur with Python 3.4 which correctly installed 
both keys (with 3.4 in the key name instead of 3.5).
