Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Distutils Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: anatoly techtonik (techtonik) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add registry functions to windows postinstall Initial Comment: It would be useful to add regkey_created() or regkey_modified() to windows postinstall scripts along with directory_created() and file_created(). Useful for adding installed package to App Paths. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: anatoly techtonik (techtonik) Date: 2007-01-20 14:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=669020 Originator: YES Windows postinstall script is bundled with installation, launched after installation and just before uninstall. It is described here. http://docs.python.org/dist/postinstallation-script.html#SECTION005310000000000000000 Where these should be defined? I do not know - there are already some functions that are said to be "available as additional built-in functions in the installation script." on the page above. The purpose is to be able to create/delete registry keys during installation. This should also be reflected in installation log file with appropriate status code so that users could be aware of what's going on. I think the functions needed are already defined in http://docs.python.org/lib/module--winreg.html but the module is very low-level. I'd rather use Autoit like API - http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/RegRead.htm http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/RegWrite.htm http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/RegDelete.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-01-20 10:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO Can you please elaborate? Where should these functions be defined, what should they do, and when should they be invoked (by what code)? Also, what is a "windows postinstall script"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1635335&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
