A Modern Python wrapper for the Windows registry
Project description
“Use the Windows Registry like a king”
A Modern Python wrapper for the Windows Registry (wrapping winreg)
Python Windows Registry Module
Access Registry like a dict
Install
pip install winregal
Usage
Use winregal.RegKey along with the ‘with’ statement to access any key of your choice. winregal handles key opening and closing for you and makes iteration really simple.
Get a Key hierarchy with all values as a dictionary
Example : Print Putty sessions
In[2]: from winregal import RegKey In[3]: with RegKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions") as key: ... print(key.to_dict()) ... {'Server1: {'UserName': u'user', 'HostName': u'192.168.48.131', ... }, 'Server2': {'UserName': u'user', 'HostName': u'192.168.48.132', ... }}
Iterate over Key hierarchy handling only values
Example : Print most recently run commands(RunMru)
In[1]: with RegKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU") as key: ... for item in key: ... if isinstance(item, RegValue): ... print(item.name, item.data) ... ('a', u'cmd\\1') ('b', u'winword\\1') ('c', u'notepad\\1') ('d', u'control\\1') ('e', u'regedit\\1') ('f', u'calc\\1') ('j', u'notepad++\\1')
Directly access a value / key
In[10]: with RegKey(“HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerRunMRU”) as key: … print(key[‘a’].data) … cmd1
Next in module Development
- Support ConnectRegistry (via RegKey.__init__)
- Wrap Edit/Save/Delete operations: e.g. CreateKey, DeleteKey, DeleteValue, SetValue, SaveKey
