[issue3778] python uninstaller leave registry entries

[Mark Lawrence]

Mark Lawrence added the comment:

I don't think this is worth the bother.  I've checked my registry and the only entry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python is PythonCore, under this are the following.

2.6
   Help
      Pythonwin Reference
         C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyWin32.chm
   Modules
2.7
   Help
      Pythonwin Reference
         C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyWin32.chm
   Modules
3.1
   Modules
3.2
   Modules
3.3
   Help
      Main Python Documentation
         C:\Python33\Doc\python331.chm
   Install Path
      Install Group
         Python 3.3
   Modules
   PythonPath
      C:\Python33\Lib;C:\Python33\DLLs

Only 3.3 is live on my machine.  Clearly the pythonwin keys aren't our responsibility.  It's hardly a lot of data anyway so why worry about it?  Yes I'm aware that it's good practice to clean up after yourself but in this case is it really worth the effort?
