Access Wine registry from python

[johnmcd]

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with wine and I had a quick question - how can I access Wine' registry from a python program? Will winreg work, or do I have to use something else?

Thanks

John

I did a simple test and it seems to work.
- Install python 3.10 in Wine 6.20
- Create a python file (C:\WinREG.py):

Code: Select all

import winreg
#connecting to key in registry
access_registry = winreg.ConnectRegistry(None,winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)

access_key = winreg.OpenKey(access_registry,r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion")
#accessing the key to open the registry directories under
for n in range(20):
   try:
      x =winreg.EnumKey(access_key,n)
      print(x)
   except:
      break

- Run: python C:\WinREG.py in cmd

Code: Select all

python C:\WinREG.py
